A087612 A divisibility sequence derived from Lehmer's polynomial x^10+x^9-x^7-x^6-x^5-x^4-x^3+x+1. Square root of the terms in A059928. 2

COMMENTS

The sequence is conjectured to contain an infinite number of primes. The first 100 terms contain 33 unique primes. As stated by Everest and Ward, except for a finite number of composite n, a(n) can be prime only if n is prime. For this sequence, n=23*47 is the largest composite for which a(n) is prime.
