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

%C Conjecture: a(n) is nonzero if n is odd and greater than 120.

%C This implies Goldbach's conjecture for even numbers of the form 4*k + 2.

%e a(1) = 0 since 1 + 0 - 0 = 1 is not a prime.
