%N Half-quartan primes: primes of the form p = (x^4 + y^4)/2.

%C The 1001-digit number ((10^250 + 5659)^4 + (10^250 + 5661)^4)/2 is currently the largest known half-quartan prime. - _Paul Muljadi_, Mar 03 2011

%C The largest known is now ((2*3960926^2048 + 1)^4 + 1^4)/2 with 54051 digits. - _Jens Kruse Andersen_, Mar 20 2011

%C Primes of the form p = a^2 + b^2 with a > b > 0 such that a + b and a - b are squares. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Jul 07 2016

%C Primes p = a^2 + b^2 with a > b > 0 such that a^2 - b^2 is a square. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Feb 14 2017

%C Primes p > 5 such that the Diophantine equation X^4 + Y^2 = p^2 has a solution X,Y with nonzero X. Then X must be odd. - _Thomas Ordowski_ and _Robert G. Wilson v_, Nov 29 2017
