a(n) = 0 iff n is even and -1 is not a square modulo n, that is, n is even and not in A008784. For other n > 2, 2 <= a(n) <= n - 1.
a(p) = p - 1 for primes p. For composite n, a(n) = n - 1 iff gcd(n, phi(n)) = 1, that is, n is in A050384.

FORMULA

For n = 9, 9 is divisible by a^9 + 1 implies a == 2 (mod 3), so a(9) = 2.
For n = 10, 10 is divisible by a^10 + 1 implies a == 3, 7 (mod 10), so a(10) = 3.
For n = 34, 34 is divisible by a^34 + 1 implies a == 13, 21 (mod 34), so a(34) = 13.
