This elliptic curve corresponds to a weight 2 newform which is an eta-quotient, namely, eta(2t)*eta(4t)*eta(6t)*eta(12t), see Theorem 2 in Martin & Ono.

FORMULA
a(n) gives the number of solutions of the congruence y^2 == x^3 - x^2 - 4*x + 4 (mod prime(n)), n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
The first nonnegative complete residue system {0, 1, ..., prime(n)-1} is used.
The solutions (x, y) of y^2 == x^3 - x^2 - 4*x + 4 (mod prime(n)) begin:
n, prime(n), a(n) solutions (x, y)
1, 2, 2: (0, 0), (1, 0)
2, 3, 4: (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0),
(2, 0)
3, 5, 7: (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 0),
(2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 1),
(4, 4)
4, 7, 7: (0, 2), (0, 5), (1, 0),
(2, 0), (4, 1), (4, 6),
(5, 0)
