Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
We consider that 0 is not squarefree.
The scatterplot of the sequence has stripes linked to the 2-adic valuation of n.
See A317420 for similar sequences.

EXAMPLE
For n = 4:
- a(1) + a(3) = 0 + 0 = 0 is not squarefree,
- a(2) + a(2) = 1 + 1 = 2 is squarefree,
- a(3) + a(1) = 0 + 0 = 0 is not squarefree,
- hence a(4) = 2.
PROG
(PARI) a = vector(71); for (n=1, #a, a[n] = sum(k=1, n-1, !issquarefree(a[k]+a[n-k])); print1 (a[n] ", "))
