Number of ways to write n = k^2 + m with k > 0 and m >= k^2 such that sigma(k^2) + phi(m) is prime, where sigma(k^2) is the sum of all (positive) divisors of k^2, and phi(.) is Euler's totient function (A000010).

Conjectures:
(i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
(ii) Any integer n > 1 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that sigma(k)^2 + phi(m) (or sigma(k) + phi(m)^2) is prime.
Part (i) of the conjecture is stronger than the conjecture in A232270. We have verified it for n up to 10^8.
There are no counterexamples to conjecture (i) < 5.12 * 10^10. - Jud McCranie, Jul 23 2017
The conjectures appeared as Conjecture 3.31 in the linked 2017 paper. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Nov 30 2018

EXAMPLE
|
a(10) = 1 since 10 = 1^2 + 9 with sigma(1^2) + phi(9) = 1 + 6 = 7 prime.
a(25) = 1 since 25 = 2^2 + 21 with sigma(2^2) + phi(21) = 7 + 12 = 19 prime.
a(34) = 1 since 34 = 4^2 + 18 with sigma(4^2) + phi(18) = 31 + 6 = 37 prime.
a(46) = 1 since 46 = 2^2 + 42 with sigma(2^2) + phi(42) = 7 + 12 = 19 prime.
a(106) = 1 since 106 = 3^2 + 97 with sigma(3^2) + phi(97) = 13 + 96 = 109 prime.
a(163) = 1 since 163 = 3^2 + 154 with sigma(3^2) + phi(154) = 13 + 60 = 73 prime.
a(265) = 1 since 265 = 11^2 + 144 with sigma(11^2) + phi(144) = 133 + 48 = 181 prime.
a(1789) = 1 since 1789 = 1^2 + 1788 with sigma(1^2) + phi(1788) = 1 + 592 = 593 prime.
a(1157) = 3, since 1157 = 10^2 + 1057 with sigma(10^2) + phi(1057) = 217 + 900 = 1117 prime, 1157 = 21^2 + 716 with sigma(21^2) + phi(716) = 741 + 356 = 1097 prime, and 1157 = 24^2 + 581 with sigma(24^2) + phi(581) = 1651 + 492 = 2143 prime. In this example, none of 10, 21 and 24 is a prime power.
