A200505 Least m>0 such that n = 5^x-y^2 (mod m) has no solution, or 0 if no such m exists. 18

%N Least m>0 such that n = 5^x-y^2 (mod m) has no solution, or 0 if no such m exists.

%C If such an m>0 exists, this proves that n is not in A051216, i.e., not of the form 5^x-y^2. On the other hand, if there are integers x, y such that n=5^x-y^2, then we know that a(n)=0.

%C a(144) > 20000.
