%N Determinant of the n X n matrix with (i,j)-entry equal to 1 or 0 according as i + j and 4*(i + j)^2 + 1 are both prime or not.

%C Conjecture: a(n) is nonzero for each n > 28.

%C This implies that there are infinitely many primes p with 4*p^2 + 1 also prime. Note also that (-1)^{n*(n-1)/2}*a(n) is always a square in view of the comments in A228591.

%e a(1) = 1 since 1 + 1 = 2 and 4*2^2 + 1 = 17 are both prime.
