COMMENTS
Primes of form floor(((n^2)/4) - (n/2) - 1). Primes in sharp upper bound on Rosgen overlap number n-vertex graph with n => 14, formula abused here for nonnegative integers. There seem to be more primes (29) through n = 60 of floor(((n^2)/4) - (n/2) - 1) than one might expect. What fraction through n = 1000 are prime?

EXAMPLE
a(1) = floor(((5^2)/4) - (5/2) - 1) = floor(16/4 - 5/2 - 1) = floor(11/4) = 2.
a(2) = floor(((6^2)/4) - (6/2) - 1) = floor(36/4 - 6/2 - 1) = floor(5) = 5.
