%N Numbers k such that k^2 + 1 is prime.

%C Hardy and Littlewood conjectured that the asymptotic number of elements in this sequence not exceeding n is approximately c*sqrt(n)/log(n) for some constant c. - _Stefan Steinerberger_, Apr 06 2006

%C Also, nonnegative integers such that a(n)+i is a Gaussian prime. - _Maciej Ireneusz Wilczynski_, May 30 2011

%C Apparently Goldbach conjectured that any a > 1 from this sequence can be written as a=b+c where b and c are in this sequence (Lemmermeyer link below). - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Oct 14 2015

%C No term > 2 can be both in this sequence and in A001105 because of the Aurifeuillean factorization (2*k^2)^2 + 1 = (2*k^2 - 2*k + 1) * (2*k^2 + 2*k + 1). - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Aug 04 2019
