COMMENTS

Quadratic analogue of analogue of A117330 Determinants of 3 X 3 matrices of continuous blocks of 9 consecutive primes. See also: A001248 Squares of primes. The terminology "continuous" is used to distinguish from "discrete" which would be block 1: 4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 169, 289, 361, 529; block 2: 841, 961, 1369, 1681, 1849, 2209, 2809, 3481, 3721; and so forth.

FORMULA

a(n) = prime(n)^2*prime(n+3)^2 - prime(n+1)^2*prime(n+2)^2.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = -213720 =

|..4....9...25.|

|.49..121..169.|

|289..361..529.|.
