COMMENTS

If n = 1, 2 (mod 4) and the squarefree part of n is divisible by a prime p = 3 (mod 4), then no difference set of order n exists. Equivalently, if a projective plane of order n exists, and n= 1 or 2 (mod 4), then n is the sum of two squares. [Jonathan Vos Post, Apr 17, 2011]

Intersection of a022544 and A046712. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 16 2011]
