COMMENTS

a(n) is itself prime for a(1) = 3, a(2) = 5, ... a(n) is itself a perfect square for a(3) = 16 = 2^4, a(12) = 1225 = 5^2 * 7^2, .... a(n) is a semiprime for a(4) = 33 = 3 * 11, a(6) = 133 = 7 * 19, a(18) = 3397 = 43 * 79, ... - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), May 14 2005

EXAMPLE

a(5)=96 because 121 (fifth prime^2) - 25 (fifth square) = 96.
