COMMENTS
The smallest such prime p is in A263726.
Complement of A263722.
An odd number k is a member if and only if k^2 + 4 is prime; see A007591.
Conjecture: Every even number k is a member. (This is equivalent to the Conjecture in A263722.) We have checked this for all k <= 12*10^7.

EXAMPLE
1^2 + 2^2 = 5, and 2 and 5 are prime, so a(1) = 1.
9^2 + p^2 is composite for all primes p, so 9 is not a member.
