%C a(1) corresponds to the first four Fermat primes. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 22 2012

%C Schinzel's hypothesis H implies that there are arbitrarily large terms in the sequence. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 26 2012

%C First value > 4 is a(102416) = 5 (corresponding to p = 2823521). - _Robert Israel_, May 28 2015

%e Let f(p,k) = a^(2^k)+b^(2^k), where f(p,1) = p is a prime of form 4k+1.

%e f(5,1) = 5, f(5,2) = 17, f(5,3) = 257, f(5,4) = 65537, f(5,5) = 641*6700417. So N = 4. Next prime of form 4k+1 is 13; N = 2. 17; N = 3. etc.
