Comments

The number of -1's among the four terms following the 0 at a(5*k), for k >= 0, is 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 0, 3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 4, 0, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, ...

See the Weisstein link, where it is stated that the period length is 0.

In general, the sequence {(k/n)} is not periodic if and only if k == 3 (mod 4). - Jianing Song, Dec 30 2018

Formula

Completely multiplicative with a(2) = -1, a(5) = 0, a(p) = 1 if p == 1, 3, 7, 9 (mod 20), a(p) = -1 if p == 11, 13, 17, 19 (mod 20). - Jianing Song, Dec 30 2018
