COMMENTS
A group G is non-Abelian iff there are two elements x,y such that xy != yx. Then <x> and <y> are nontrivial subgroups whose order divides the order of G which therefore cannot be prime (neither the square of a prime: there are only two nonisomorphic groups of that order which are both abelian; see A051532 for more). This also implies that a(n) >= 2+2+2 = 6 for all nonzero elements of this sequence and for even n=2m>4 there is the non-Abelian dihedral group D_m with A007503(m)=sigma(m)+tau(m)=A000005(m)+A000203(m), providing a lower bound. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 03 2007

FORMULA
a(n) = 0 <=> A060689(n)=0 <=> n is in A051532 ; otherwise a(n) >= 6 and a(2n) >= A007503(n). - M. F. Hasler, Dec 03 2007
EXAMPLE
a(6)=6 because the only non-Abelian group with 6 elements is S_3 with 6 subgroups.
