COMMENTS

Conjecture: The number of terms in this sequence is infinite.

FORMULA

Let p be a prime number and r = floor(sqrt(p)). Then the closest surrounding squares of p are r^2 and (r+1)^2. So d = (r+1)^2 - r^2 = 2r+1. If if d is prime then list d.

EXAMPLE

29 is a prime number. 5^2 and 6^2 are the closest squares surrounding 29. Now

the difference, 36-25 = 11 is prime so 11 is in the table.

PROG

(PARI) surrsqpr(n) = { local(x, y, j, r, d); forprime(x=2, n, r=floor(sqrt(x)); d=r+r+1; if(isprime(d), print1(d", ") ) ) }
