%N a(n) = |{0 <= k < n: the number of primes in the interval (k*n, (k+1)*n] is a square}|.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.

%C We have verified this for n up to 10^5.

%C See also A238278 and A238281 for related conjectures.

%e a(9) = 1 since the interval (0, 9] contains exactly 2^2 = 4 primes.

%e a(13) = 1 since the interval (9*13, 10*13] contains exactly 1^2 = 1 prime.
