%N Smallest prime of the form a^2 + b^2 with 0 < a < b such that a + b = 2n+1.

%C Conjecture: there is always such a prime number.

%C Primes of the form x^2 + y^2 with 0 < x < y such that there are no primes of the form (x+z)^2 + (y-z)^2 for 0 < z < (y-x)/2. Note: a(40) = 3461 > a(41) = 3449, so the order is not maintained. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Jan 21 2017
