Comments

We consider rings in which multiplication is associative and has a unit, but where there is at least one pair of non-commuting elements.

Formula

a(n) = A037291(n) - A127707(n). - Bernard Schott, Apr 19 2022

Example

a(n)=0 for n<=7 and a(8)=1, so all rings (with unit) of cardinality at most 7 are commutative, while the smallest non-commutative ring (with unit) has cardinality 8 and is unique up to isomorphism; it can be represented as the ring of upper-triangular matrices of size 2 over F_2.
A037291(32) = 208, A127707(32) = 109, hence a(32) = 208 - 109 = 99.
