Example

a(2) = 3, since the smallest number greater than all the previous terms which gives a prime when added to 2^2 is 3.

Maple

R:= 1: t:= 1:
for n from 2 to 100 do
  t:= nextprime(t+n^2)-n^2;
  R:= R, t

Mathematica

a[n_] := a[n] = Module[{k = a[n - 1] + 1}, While[! PrimeQ[n^2 + k], k++]; k]; a[0] = 0; Array[a, 100] (* Amiram Eldar, Apr 12 2023 *)
