COMMENTS

It appears that the only square in this sequence is 4. Checked 10^11 terms. a(10^11) = 247754953701579144582110673365391267. - T. D. Noe, Sep 06 2005

a(2n-1) is divisible by 2, a(3n+1) is divisible by 3, a(4n-3) is divisible by 4, a(6n+1) is divisible by 6, a(8n-3) is divisible by 8, a(12n+1) is divisible by 12, a(24n-11) is divisible by 24. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jun 15 2006

The sequence is best looked at in base 12, with X for 10 and E for 11: 4, 11, 32, 73, 154, 275, 476, 717, X98, 1479, 1E3X, 289E, 3860, 4941, 6082, 7823, 9844, EX25, 12546, 15447, 18548, 20089, 2406X, 2876E, 320E0, 37E91, 42152, 488E3, 53754, 5E015, 68416, 76337, 85178, 94399, X51EX, E643E, 108760, 120001. Since the squares of all primes greater than 3 are always 1 mod 12, the sequence obeys the rule a(n) mod 12 = (n-1) mod 12 for n>=2. The rule gives a(2n-1) = (2n-2) mod 12 and so a(2n-1) must be divisible by 2. a(3n+1) = (3n) mod 12 so a(3n+1) is divisible by 3. The other rules are proved similarly. Remember: base 12 is a research tool! - Walter Kehowski, Jun 24 2006

For all primes p > 3, we have p^2 == 1 (mod m) for m dividing 24 (and only these m). Using a covering argument, it is not hard to show that all terms except a(24k+13) are nonsquares. Hence in the search for square a(n), only 1 out of every 24 terms needs to be checked. - T. D. Noe, Jan 23 2008

FORMULA

a(n) = A007504(n)^2 - 2*A024447(n). - Alexander Adamchuk, Jun 15 2006

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} prime(i)^2. - Walter Kehowski, Jun 24 2006

a(n) = (1/3)*n^3*log(n)^2 + O(n^3*log(n)*log(log(n))). The proof is similar to proof for A007504(n) (see link of Shevelev). - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 02 2013
