Comments

Also a(n) = (-40/n).

The Dirichlet character associated with the imaginary quadratic field Q(sqrt(-10)) (discriminant -40).

Note that (Sum_{i=0..39} i*a(i))/(-40) = 2 gives the class number of the imaginary quadratic field Q(sqrt(-10)).

Formula

a(n) = A080891(n) * A188510(n).

Completely multiplicative with a(2) = a(5) = 0, a(p) = 1 for primes p == 1, 7, 9, 11, 13, 19, 23, 37 (mod 40), a(p) = -1 for primes p == 3, 17, 21, 27, 29, 31, 33, 39 (mod 40).

Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n = -(Pi/40^(3/2)) * (Sum_{i=0..39} i*a(i)) = Pi/sqrt(10) (Dirichlet class number formula).
