COMMENTS

n*a(n) + n*(n - 1)*7 = n^4.

After the two units, there are 23 consecutive prime or semiprime values. See notes on primes in another cubic, A105551. Primes in this cubic include: a(3) = 13, (4) = 43, a(5) = 97, a(6) = 181, a(8) = 463, a(9) = 673, a(10) = 937, a(13) = 2113, a(17) = 4801, a(19) = 6733, a(20) = 7867, a(22) = 10501, a(26) = 17401, a(27) = 19501, a(31) = 29581, a(36) = 46411, a(39) = 59053, a(40) = 63727. Semiprimes include a(7) = 301 = 7 * 43, a(11) = 1261 = 13 * 97, a(12) = 1651 = 13 * 127, a(14) = 2653 = 7 * 379, a(15) = 3277 = 29 * 113, a(16) = 3991 = 13 * 307, a(18) = 5713 = 29 * 197, a(21) = 9121 = 7 * 1303, a(23) = 12013 = 41 * 293, a(24) = 13663 = 13 * 1051, a(28) = 21763 = 7 * 3109, a(30) = 26797 = 127 * 211, a(29) = 24193 = 13 * 1861, a(32) = 32551 = 43 * 757, a(33) = 35713 = 71 * 503, a(34) = 39073 = 41 * 953, a(35) = 42637 = 7 * 6091, a(37) = 50401 = 13 * 3877, a(38) = 54613 = 13 * 4201. There are no 3-almost primes until a(25) = 15457 = 13 * 29 * 41. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), May 16 2005

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 1, 1 + 15 = 2^4; a(3) = 13, 13 + 27 + 41 = 3^4; a(4) = 43, 43 + 57 + 71 + 85 = 4^4
