Table of n, a(n) for n=1..17.

Example

4 is a term, because 4!^2 + 3!^2 + 1 = 576 + 36 + 1 = 613 is a prime number.

Prog

(PARI) is(k) = isprime((k!^2)+((k-1)!)^2+1);
(Python)
from itertools import count, islice
from sympy import isprime
def A374901_gen(): # generator of terms
    f = 1
    for k in count(1):
        if isprime((k**2+1)*f+1):
            yield k
        f *= k**2
A374901_list = list(islice(A374901_gen(), 10)) # Chai Wah Wu, Oct 02 2024
