Inspired by Andrica's conjecture. If it is true, a(n)>1 for all n.

FORMULA
|
Conjecture: there is a constant c>0 such that for n large enough, a(n)>c*sqrt(n) and we can take c=0.4. More precisely, there are 2 constants A and B such that A=lim sup n ->infinity a(n)/sqrt(n) exists = 0.75....; B=lim inf n ->infinity a(n)/sqrt(n) exists =0.46....
