Comments

The first time terms 0..7 occur is at n = 1, 4, 8, 48, 242, 844, 22020, 217070. - Antti Karttunen, Sep 22 2017

Formula

mu(k) = 0 for n <= k < n+a(n) and mu(n+a(n)) <> 0, where mu = A008683 (Moebius function).

a(n)*mu(n) = 0.

a(A068781(n)) > 0.

a(n) = A067535(n) - n. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 10 2023

Example

For n = 3, 3 is a squarefree number, thus a(3) = 0.
For n = 48, neither 48 = 2^4 * 3 nor 49 = 7^2, nor 50 = 2^2 * 5 are squarefree, but 51 = 3*17 is, thus a(48) = 3. - Antti Karttunen, Sep 22 2017
