%N Primes such that z(p) is odd where z(n) is A214028(n).

%C From _Jianing Song_, Aug 13 2019: (Start)

%C Primes p with 4 zeros in a fundamental period of A000129 mod p, that is, primes p such that A214027(p) = 4.

%C For p > 2, p is in this sequence if and only if (all these conditions are equivalent):

%C (a) A175181(p) == 4 (mod 8);

%C (b) ord(p,1+sqrt(2)) == 4 (mod 8), where ord(p,u) is the smallest integer k > 0 such that (u^k - 1)/p is an algebraic integer;

%C (c) ord(p,3+2*sqrt(2)) == 2 (mod 4);

%C (d) A214028(p) is odd;

%C (e) ord(p,-(3+2*sqrt(2))) is odd.

%C In general, let {x(n)} be a sequence defined by x(0) = 0, x(1) = 1, x(n+2) = m*x(n+1) + x(n). Let pi(k) be the Pisano period of {x(n)} modulo k, i.e., pi(k) = min{l > 0 : x(n+l) == x(n) (mod k) for all n}, r(k) = min{l > 0 : k divides x(l)} and w(k) be the number of zeros in a fundamental period of {x(n)} modulo k. Let u = (m + sqrt(m^2+4))/2, p be an odd prime, then these conditions are equivalent:

%C (1) w(p) = 4;

%C (2) pi(p) == 4 (mod 8);

%C (3) ord(p,u) == 4 (mod 8);

%C (4) ord(p,u^2) == 2 (mod 4);

%C (5) r(p) is odd;

%C (6) ord(p,-u^2) is odd.

%C This can be shown by noting that pi(p) = p^c*ord(p,u) and r(p) = p^c*ord(p,-u^2) for some c (if p does not divide m^2 + 4 then c = 0, otherwise c = 1). Also, Pi(p) is always even, so ord(p,u) is always even.

%C This sequence contains all primes congruent to 5 modulo 8.

%C Conjecturely, this sequence has density 7/24 in the primes. (End)

%e The smallest Pell number divisible by the prime 5 has index 3, which is odd, so 5 is in the sequence.
