A101902 Numbers n that are not of the form ab+bc+cd+de+ea with a,b,c,d,e>0. 0
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 30, 38, 42, 62 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

Conjecture that this sequence is complete. Note that, except for n=1 and n=2, n-1 is prime. The case of the 3-term binary form is treated in A025052. For the 4-term case, ab+bc+cd+da, no prime is representable because the 4 terms factor as (a+c)(b+d).

MATHEMATICA

nn=100; cnt5=Table[0, {nn}]; Do[n=a*b+b*c+c*d+d*e+e*a; If[n<=nn, cnt5[[n]]++ ], {a, nn}, {b, a, nn}, {c, b, nn}, {d, c, nn}, {e, d, nn}]; Flatten[Position[cnt5, 0]]
