COMMENTS
A 4-regular circulant graph of order n, C(n,i,j), is connected if and only if gcd(n,i,j) = 1, where 0 < i < j < n.
a(n) >= 1 iff n is a composite > 4. - Robert Israel, Nov 26 2024

a(8) = 3 via (i, j, n) in {(2, 4, 8), (2, 6, 8), (4, 6, 8)} and that's three such tuples. - David A. Corneth, Nov 27 2024
