Example

a(1) = 2 since 2 lies between 1(square) and 3(prime).
a(2) = 3 since 3 lies between 2(prime) and 4(square).

Mathematica

nn = 100; Sort[Select[Range[0, nn], PrimeQ[#^2 + 2] &]^2 + 1, Select[Range[nn], PrimeQ[#^2 - 2] &]^2 - 1] (* T. D. Noe, Aug 29 2012 *)
Select[Range[15000], AnyTrue[#+{1, -1}, PrimeQ]&&AnyTrue[{Sqrt[#-1], Sqrt[ #+1]}, IntegerQ]&] (* Harvey P. Dale, Feb 06 2023 *)
