Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A115039 Exponent n for the smallest x such that x^2 + p = y^n over the set of primes p. 0

%N Exponent n for the smallest x such that x^2 + p = y^n over the set of primes p.

%C Conjecture: There will always be an x,y,n such that x^2 + p = y^n for all primes p.

%e 5 is the smallest number that when we add its square to prime 2, we get a perfect power, 3^3. So 3 is the first entry.

%o (PARI) sqplusp(n) = { local(p,x,y,c=0); forprime(p=2,n, for(x=1,n, y=x^2+p; if(ispower(y), print1(exponent(y)",");c++;break ) ) ); print(); print(c) } exponent(n) = \ Return the exponent if n is a perfect power { local(x,ln,j,e=0); ln=omega(n); x=factor(n); e=x[1,2]; for(j=2,ln, if(x[j,2] < e,e=x[j,2]) ); return(e) }
