%N Conjectured number of generalized Fermat primes of the form (n+1)^2^k + n^2^k, with k>0.
%C Primes that are the sum of consecutive integers (k=0) are excluded. Values of k <= 16 were tested. The sequence A078902 lists some of the generalized Fermat primes. Bjorn and Riesel examined generalized Fermat numbers for n <= 11 and k <= 999.

%e a(1) = 4 because there are four known Fermat primes (with k>0): 5, 17, 257, 65537.
