COMMENTS

Notes: 1) primes n^8+2^8 only for odd n 2) divisor 17 if n=17k +/- 6, n=17k +/- 10, n=17k +/- 12, n=17k +/- 14, so calculation only for primes of the form n=17k+/-2 => 223,389,491,563,797,1579,3313,3623,3691,... n=17k+/-4 => 13,701,2027,2087,2333,2393,2699,... n=17k+/-8 => 331,773,1063,1181,1811,2269,... n=17k+/-16 => 137,647,1531,2617,2687,2857,3467,3637,... (only 8 natural numbers in each interval of length 34) 3) it is conjectured that sequence a(n) is infinite

n^8+2^8 has divisor 17 if n=17k +/- 6, n=17k +/- 10, n=17k +/- 12, n=17k +/- 14 where k = 1, 3, 5, ....

FORMULA

n^8+2^8 and n to be a prime

EXAMPLE

n=11: 11^8+2^8=214359137=17 x 241 x 52321 no prime n=13: 13^8+2^8=815730977 is prime => a(1)=13

MAPLE

a := proc (n) if isprime(ithprime(n)^8+256) = true then ithprime(n) else end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 900); [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 14 2009]
