%N Number of regular elements in Z_n[i].

%C A Gaussian integer z is called regular (mod n) if there is a Gaussian integer x such that z^2 * x == z (mod n).

%C From _Robert Israel_, Nov 30 2015: (Start)

%C a(2^k) = 1 + 2^(2k-1) for k >= 1.

%C a(p) = p^2 if p is an odd prime.

%C a(p^k) = 1 - p^(2k-2) + p^(2k) if p is a prime == 3 mod 4.

%C a(p^k) = 1 - 2 p^(k-1) + 2 p^k + p^(2k-2) - 2 p^(2k-1) + p^(2k) if p is a prime == 1 mod 4.(End)
