%N Number of primes q with (2n-1)^2+1 <= q < (2n)^2-(2n-1).
%C Immediate connection to unsolved problem, is there always a prime between n^2 and (n+1)^2 ("full" interval of two consecutive squares).
%C See sequence A145354 and A157884 for more details to this new improved conjecture.
%C First ("left") half interval: number of primes q (2m-1)^2+1 <= q < (2m)^2-(2m-1).
%C It is conjectured that a(n) >= 1 for n >= 1.
%C No a(m) with m>9 is known, where a(m)=1.
%C This is a bisection of A089610 and hence related to a conjecture of Oppermann. [_T. D. Noe_, Apr 22 2009]
