Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>=1188.
Conjecture verified for n up to 10^9. - Mauro Fiorentini, Sep 23 2023
This conjecture is stronger than both Goldbach's conjecture and Lemoine's conjecture.
Zhi-Wei Sun also made the following conjecture: Given any positive odd integer d, there is a prime p(d) such that for any prime p>p(d) there is a prime q<p such that p^2+dpq+q^2 is prime. For example, we may take p(1)=5, p(3)=2, p(5)=61, p(7)=3, p(9)=13, p(11)=7, p(13)=3, p(15)=163, p(17)=13, p(19)=5, p(21)=p(23)=2, p(25)=89, p(27)=3, p(29)=53.
Conjecture verified for d up to 100 and p up to 10^7. - Mauro Fiorentini, Sep 23 2023

EXAMPLE
For n=72 we have a(72)=1 since the only primes p and q with p+q=72, q<=36 and p^2+3pq+q^2 prime are p=67 and q=5.
