COMMENTS

Koshy and Salmassi give an elementary proof that the only prime Catalan numbers are A000108(2) = 2 and A000108(3) = 5. Franklin T. Adams-Watters showed that the only semiprime Catalan number is A000108(4) = 14. The subsequence of primes in the partial sum of squares of Catalan numbers begins: 2, 31, 227, 101741582076581.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum[ ((2k)!/(k!)^2/(k+1))^2, {k,0,n}. - Alexander Adamchuk, Feb 16 2008

Sum_{i=1..n} [c(i)]^2 = Sum_{i=1..n} [C(2*i-2, i-1)/i]^2 = (1/(n-1)!)^2 * [ n^C(2*n-4, 1) + {2*C(n-1, 2)}*n^(2*n-5) + {C(n-2, 0) + 4*C(n-2, 1) + 13*C(n-2, 2) + 22*C(n-2, 3) + 12*C(n-2, 4)}*n^C(2*n-6, 1) + {12*C(n-3, 1) + 152*C(n-3, 2) + 458*C(n-3, 3) + 640*C(n-3, 4) + 440*C(n-3, 5) + 120*C(n-3, 6)}*n^(2*n-7) + {40*C(n-4, 0) + 313*C(n-4, 1) + 2332*C(n-4, 2) + 9536*C(n-4, 3) + 21409*C(n-4, 4) + 28068*C(n-4, 5) + 21700*C(n-4, 6) + 9240*C(n-4, 7) + 1680*C(n-4, 8) + ... + C(n-3, 0)*((n-1)!)^2 ].
