A305502 Number of ways to write n as x + y with 0 < x <= y such that x^3 + n*y^2 is prime. 1

%S 0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,4,2,3,1,4,2,2,1,4,1,6,2,5,2,7,1,3,2,6,2,7,2,

%N Number of ways to write n as x + y with 0 < x <= y such that x^3 + n*y^2 is prime.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 22, 28, 42, 50.

%C We have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..10^7.

%C See also A232174 for a similar conjecture.

%e a(2) = 1 since 2 = 1 + 1 with 1^3 + 2*1^2 = 3 prime.

%e a(3) = 1 since 3 = 1 + 2 with 1^3 + 3*2^2 = 13 prime.

%e a(11) = 1 since 11 = 5 + 6 with 5^3 + 11*6^2 = 521 prime.

%e a(20) = 1 since 20 = 3 + 17 with 3^3 + 20*17^2 = 5807 prime.

%e a(28) = 1 since 28 = 9 + 19 with 9^3 + 28*19^2 = 10837 prime.

%e a(42) = 1 since 42 = 19 + 23 with 19^3 + 42*23^2 = 29077 prime.

%e a(50) = 1 since 50 = 3 + 47 with 3^3 + 50*47^2 = 110477 prime.
