%N Number of primes p between triangular numbers T(n) < p <= T(n+1).

%C It is conjectured that for n > 0, a(n) > 0. See also A190661. - _John W. Nicholson_, May 18 2011

%C If the above conjecture is true, then for any k > 1 there is a prime p > k such that p <= (n+1)(n+2)/2, where n = floor(sqrt(2k)+1/2). Ignoring the floor function we can obtain a looser (but nicer) lower bound of p <= 1 + k + 2*sqrt(2k). - _Dmitry Kamenetsky_, Nov 26 2016

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A066888/b066888.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000</a>

%F a(n) = pi(n*(n+1)/2) - pi(n*(n-1)/2).

%F a(n) equals the number of occurrences of n+1 in A057062. - _Esko Ranta_, Jul 29 2011

%e Write the numbers 1, 2, ... in a triangle with n terms in the n-th row; a(n) = number of primes in n-th row.

%e Triangle begins

%e 1 (0 primes)

%e 2 3 (2 primes)

%e 4 5 6 (1 prime)

%e 7 8 9 10 (1 prime)

%e 11 12 13 14 15 (2 primes)
