COMMENTS

1. a(n) = 0 if n is a perfect prime power or a prime such that n+2 is composite. The zero entries in other cases suggest a generalization of Fermat's last theorem. a(n) = 2 if n and n+2 form a twin prime pair.

EXAMPLE

a(12) = 63 as 12 + 63 = 75, 2^2*3 + 3^2*7 = 5^2*3, all have the prime signature p^2*q.
