%N Neither square nor square + prime.

%C Almost certainly finite; no other terms below 2.5*10^7. Search extended to 3*10^9 by James Van Buskirk without finding any more terms. - John Robertson (Jpr2718(AT)aol.com)

%C Hardy & Littlewood's Conjecture H is that this sequence is finite and that the number of representations of n as the sum of a prime and a square is asymptotically sqrt(n)/log n * prod_{p > 2} 1 - (n / p) / (p - 1), where (n / p) is the Legendre symbol.

%C Hongze Li showed that there are at most O(n^0.982) members of this sequence below n, improving on earlier results of Wang.

%C a(22) > 10^11, if it exists. - _Giovanni Resta_, Jul 16 2019
