a(n) is the smallest k > 1 such that Phi_m(-k) has all its divisors == 1 (mod n) for all m > 1 dividing 2n+1, where Phi_m(x) are the cyclotomic polynomials.
By Schinzel's hypothesis H, a(n) exists for every n (see A298076).
If 2n+1 is a prime > 3, then a(n) = 2.
We have a(n)^(2n+1) == a(n) (mod 2n+1), so every composite number 2n+1 is a weak Fermat pseudoprime to base a(n).
a(42) requires factorization of a 132 digit composite. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 16 2018
Additional nontrivial terms: a(55) = 111, a(61) = 165, a(64) = 216, a(66) = 49.
a(49) >= 656811 (a C322 remains to be factored to verify k=656811).
a(52) >= 3547020 (a C288 remains to be factored to verify k=3547020).
a(57) >= 4900 (a C258 remains to be factored to verify k=4900).
a(58) > 784720.
a(59) >= 714 (a C299 remains to be factored to verify k=714).
a(60) >= 233 (a C240 remains to be factored to verify k=233).
a(62) >= 126 (a C191 remains to be factored to verify k=126). (End)

a(n) = min{k > 1: for all prime p, if p | (k^(2n+1)+1)/(k+1) then p == 1 (mod 2n+1)}. - Kevin P. Thompson, Mar 18 2022

EXAMPLE
|
a(170) = 2 wherein 2*170 + 1 = 341 = 11*31 is the smallest psp(2).
a(0) = 2 is the least integer k > 1 for which (k+1)/(k+1) == 1 (mod 1). (Here we even have equality, but any integer is congruent to any other integer, modulo 1.)
a(1) = 3 is the least k > 1 for which (k^3+1)/(k+1) = k^2 - k + 1 = P3(-k) == 1 (mod 3). Indeed, P3(-3) = 7 == 1 (mod 3), while P3(-2) = 3 == 0 (mod 3). (End)
