%N a(0) = 3; thereafter, a(n) = a(n-1)^2 - 4.
%C This is to A001566 as 4 is to 2 (subtrahend). This is the k=4 row of the array A[k,0] = 3, A[k,n] = A[k,n-1]^2 - k; A186750 is the k=3 row; and A001566 is the k=2 row. A003096(n+1) is the k=1 row.
%e a(1) = a(0)^2 - 4 = 3^2 - 4 = 5, which is, like a(0), a prime.
