COMMENTS

a(n) is odd iff x^2+y^2==5(mod 8). [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Jul 12 2009]

A002972(n)^2 + 4*a(n)^2 = A002144(n); A002331(n+1)=MIN(A002972(n),2*a(n)) and A002330(n+1)=MAX(A002972(n),2*a(n)). [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 16 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = MIN(A173331(n), A002144(n) - A173331(n)) / 2. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 16 2010]

EXAMPLE

The 3rd prime of the form 4i+1 is 17=1^2+4^2, so a(3)=4/2=2.
