COMMENTS

Conjecture: No two successive terms in the sequence differ by more than 1. Proof of this would prove the converse of the theorem that every prime is surrounded by two consecutive squares, namely |sqrt(p)|^2 and (|sqrt(p)|+1)^2. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Jan 22 2003

Equals the number of squares less than prime(n). Cf. A014689. - Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com) Nov 04 2007
