FORMULA

a(n) = A125615(n)/prime(n).

If prime(n) = 4k+1 then a(n) = k = A076410(n).

EXAMPLE

The quadratic nonresidues of 7=prime(4) are 3, 5 and 6. Hence a(4) = (3+5+6)/7 = 2.

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) local p;

p:= ithprime(n);

convert(select(t->numtheory:-legendre(t, p)=-1, [$1..p-1]), `+`)/p;

end proc:

seq(a(n), n=3..100); # Robert Israel, May 10 2015

Table[Total[Flatten[Position[Table[JacobiSymbol[a, p], {a, p - 1}], -1]]]/ p, {p, Prime[Range[3, 100]]}] (* Geoffrey Critzer, May 10 2015 *)

PROG

(PARI) vector(73, m, p=prime(m+2); t=1; for(i=2, (p-1)/2, t+=((i^2)%p)); (p-1)/2-t/p)
