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”).

%N Least positive integer k such that both k and k*n belong to the set {m>0: m+1, m^2+1 and m^2+prime(m)^2 are all prime}.

%C Conjecture: a(n) exists for any n > 0. In general, any positive rational number r can be written as m/n with m and n in the set {k>0: k+1, k^2+1 and k^2+prime(k)^2 are all prime}.

%C For example, 5/8 = 3567600/5708160 with 3567600+1, 3567600^2+1 = 12727769760001, 3567600^2 + prime(3567600)^2 = 3567600^2 + 60098671^2 = 3624578025726241, 5708160+1, 5708160^2+1 = 32583090585601, and 5708160^2 + prime(5708160)^2 = 5708160^2 + 99018553^2 = 9837256928799409 all prime.

%C The conjecture implies that there are infinitely many primes p with (p-1)^2+1 and (p-1)^2+prime(p-1)^2 both prime.

%C We also guess that any positive rational number can be written as m/n, where m and n are positive integers with m^2+prime(m)^2, m^2+prime(n)^2, n^2+prime(m)^2 and n^2+prime(n)^2 all prime.
