A234470 Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 2 such that p(k + phi(m)/2) is prime, where p(.) is the partition function (A000041) and phi(.) is Euler's totient function. 17

%N Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 2 such that p(k + phi(m)/2) is prime, where p(.) is the partition function (A000041) and phi(.) is Euler's totient function.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 if n > 3 is not among 27, 34, 50, 61, 74, 78, 115, 120, 123, 127.

%C This implies that there are infinitely many primes in the range of the partition function p(n).

%e a(26) = 1 since 26 = 2 + 24 with p(2 + phi(24)/2) = p(6) = 11 prime.

%e a(54) = 1 since 54 = 27 + 27 with p(27 + phi(27)/2) = p(36) = 17977 prime.

%e a(73) = 1 since 73 = 1 + 72 with p(1 + phi(72)/2) = p(36) = 17977 prime.

%e a(110) = 1 since 110 = 65 + 45 with p(65 + phi(45)/2) = p(77) = 10619863 prime.

%e a(150) = 1 since 150 = 123 + 27 with p(123 + phi(27)/2) = p(132) = 6620830889 prime.

%e a(170) = 1 since 170 = 167 + 3 with p(167 + phi(3)/2) = p(168) = 228204732751 prime.
