COMMENTS
Note that the number of points is p+1 when p+1=0 (mod 3); p is a prime in A003627.
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 4 because over GF(3) the points on the curve are (0,1), (1,0), (2,2) and the point at infinity.
MATHEMATICA
Table[p=Prime[n]; s2=Mod[Table[y^3, {y, 0, p-1}], p]; s3=Mod[Table[1-x^3, {x, 0, p-1}], p]; s=Intersection[Union[s2], Union[s3]]; 1+Sum[Count[s2, s[[i]]]*Count[s3, s[[i]]], {i, Length[s]}], {n, 100}] (T. D. Noe)
