%N Friedlander-Iwaniec primes: Primes of form a^2 + b^4.

%C John Friedlander and Henryk Iwaniec proved that there are infinitely many such primes.

%C A256852(A049084(a(n))) > 0. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 11 2015

%C Primes in A111925. - _Robert Israel_, Oct 02 2015

%C Its intersection with A185086 is A262340, by the uniqueness part of Fermat's two-squares theorem. - _Jonathan Sondow_, Oct 05 2015

%C Cunningham calls these semi-quartan primes. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 21 2017

%C Primes of the form (x^2 + y^2)/2, where x > y > 0, such that (x-y)/2 or (x+y)/2 is square. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Dec 04 2017

%C Named after the Canadian mathematician John Benjamin Friedlander (b. 1941) and the Polish-American mathematician Henryk Iwaniec (b. 1947). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 19 2021
