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 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A155925
a(x) = if one of {4x^2 - 146x + 1373, 4x^2 - 144x + 1459, 4x^2 - 142x + 1301, 4x^2 - 140x + 1877} is prime, then pick that prime in sequence, otherwise pick zero.

COMMENTS
The polynomials are tested in a cycle beginning with a(1 + x mod 4), i.e., when x == 0 (mod 4), they are tested in order t1,t2,t3,t4; when x == 1 (mod 4), they are tested in the order t2,t3,t4,t1. If none of the polynomials are prime, a zero value is given.
