COMMENTS

Suggested by Legendre's conjecture (still open) that for n > 0 there is always a prime between n^2 and (n+1)^2.
a(n) is the number of occurrences of n in A000006. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 17 2003
See the additional references and links mentioned in A143227. - Jonathan Sondow, Aug 03 2008
Legendre's conjecture may be written pi((n+1)^2) - pi(n^2) > 0 for all positive n, where pi(n) = A000720(n), [the prime counting function]. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 30 2008 [Comment corrected by Jonathan Sondow, Aug 15 2008]
Legendre's conjecture can be generalized as follows: for all integers n > 0 and all real numbers k > K, there is a prime in the range n^k to (n+1)^k. The constant K is conjectured to be log(127)/log(16). See A143935. - T. D. Noe, Sep 05 2008
For n > 0: number of occurrences of n^2 in A145445. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 25 2014

FORMULA
|
a(n) = A000720((n+1)^2) - A000720(n^2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 30 2008
a(n) = Sum_{k = n^2..(n+1)^2} A010051(k). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 18 2012
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(17) = 5 because between 17^2 and 18^2, i.e., 289 and 324, there are 5 primes (which are 293, 307, 311, 313, 317).
