%N Indices k such that A020503(k)=Phi[k](-4) is prime, where Phi is a cyclotomic polynomial.

%C It appears that for all k>1, a(k) is a multiple of 4.

%C It also appears that all Cyclotomic Polynomials, Phi[k](x), where k is a multiple of 4 have no odd powers of x. For example, Phi[20](x)=x^8-x^6+x^4-x^2+1. This implies that Phi[k](x)=Phi[k](-x), where k is a multiple of 4. - _Robert Price_, Apr 14 2012
