(a(n-1) + 1)/4 is the least positive integer c such that x^2 + x + c is not divisible by the first n primes. This implies that a(n) is congruent to 19 mod 24 and that a(n) is congruent to 43 or 67 mod 120 for n > 1. - William P. Orrick, Mar 19 2017

With an initial a(0) = 3, a(n) is the negated fundamental discriminant D < 0 with the least absolute value such that the first n + 1 primes are inert in the imaginary quadratic field with discriminant D. See A094847 for the real discriminant case. - Jianing Song, Feb 15 2019
