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”).

Consider the initial terms of numerator sequences (dropping initial zeros) of
3; A005563=N(1) ,
5,3; A061037=N(2) ,
7,16,1; A061039=N(3) ,
9,5,33,3; A061041=N(4) ,
11,24,39,56,3; A061043=N(5) ,
13,7,5,4,85,1; A061045=N(6) ,
15,32,51,72,95,120,3; A061047=N(7) ,
17,9,57,5,105,33,161,3; A061049=N(8) ,
19,40,7,88,115,16,175,208,1; N(9),
21,11,69,6,1,39,189,14,261,3; N(10),
23,48,75,104,135,168,203,240,279,320,3; N(11)
One must add the following associated (minimum) squares (taken from squared entries in A172038) to these values to reach the next possible square not larger than the entry itself:
1; N(1)
4,1; N(2)
9,9,0; N(3)
16,4,16,1; N(4)
25,25,25,25,1; N(5)
36,9,4,0,36,0; N(6)
49,49,49,49,49,49,1; N(7)
64,16,64,4,64,16,64,1, ; N(8)
Only if the index of N(.) is a prime we obtain a string of equal consecutive terms in these complementary rows: 4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 169..
The current sequence lists the consecutive complementary squares, A001248, in the rows with prime index, including their multiplicity (which is A006093).
This generates a link between the primes and the Rydberg-Ritz spectrum of the hydrogen atom.
