4*n*(k + n) is a square. If n is a square, then k + n is also a square.
If n is prime, then n divides k.
If we add the additional condition that p and q are two consecutive primes of the form m^2 + 1, then we obtain the sequence A339008, with A339008(n) = a(n) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 24 because 24^2 + 1 = 577, (24 + 2)^2 + 1 = 677 and 677 - 577 = 10^2 is a square. The other values m such that p = m^2 + 1 and q = (m+2)^2 + 1 are primes with q - p square are 11024, 133224, 156024, 342224, 416024,...
a(2) = 6 because 6^2 + 1 = 37, (6 + 4)^2 + 1 = 101 and 101 - 37 = 8^2 is a square. The other values m such that p = m^2 + 1 and q = (m+4)^2 + 1 are primes with q - p square are 16, 126, 1350, 1456, 1566, 2310, 5200,...
