%N Number of inequivalent Gaussian primes of norm n.

%C These are the primes in the ring of integers a+bi, a and b rational integers, i = sqrt(-1).

%C Two primes are considered equivalent if they differ by multiplication by a unit (+-1, +-i).

%F a(n) = A055028(n)/4.

%F a(n) = 2 if n is a prime = 1 (mod 4); a(n) = 1 if n is 2, or p^2 where p is a prime = 3 (mod 4); a(n) = 0 otherwise. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, May 05 2006

%F a(n) = if n = 2 then 1 else 2*A079260(n) + A079261(A037213(n)). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Nov 11 2012

%e There are 8 Gaussian primes of norm 5, +-1+-2i and +-2+-i, but only two inequivalent ones (2+-i).
