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
