%N a(n)^2 + a(n+1) is prime; lexicographically earliest sequence of nonnegative integers with this property and containing no duplicates.

%C Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers.

%C Terms are of alternating parity.

%C The sequence cannot have a fixed point other than a(0)=0 because for n>0, the terms are of parity opposite to that of their indices.

%C The number of distinct m-digit primes arising from the sequence appears to be bounded by the entries of A030186. The counts here for m=1 to 9 are 2,7,21,69,216,684,2162,6801,21623 compared to A030186's 2,7,22,71,228,733,2356,7573,24342. - _Bill McEachen_, Feb 15 2016
