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”).

%N a(n+1) is the smallest divisor of a(n)^2+1 that does not yet appear in the sequence, with a(1) = 1.
%C All members of the sequence can be represented as the sum of two relatively prime numbers (A008784). It appears that the sequence is infinite and that all such numbers are present.

%e After a(4)=13, the divisors of 13^2+1=170 are 1,2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 85, 170. 1, 2, and 5 have already occurred, so a(5) = 10.
