%N Greatest prime less than 2*n^2 for n > 1, a(1) = 1.

%C a(n) for n>1 is prime. Further the upper part of at least n in i well-ordered prime factors p_i(n) of the numerator of 2^(1-2 n^2) n binomial(2 n^2, n^2) (A285388(n)) consists of only single factors which form especially a complete part of the prime numbers p with 3 < 2(n-1)^2 < p <= a(n) < 2n^2. Thus the complete union of {2,3} and {p_i(m)} for m from 2 to n gives all prime numbers p <= a(n).

%C Alternative definitions are "Greatest prime factor of the numerator of 2^(1-2 n^2) n binomial(2 n^2, n^2)". and "Greatest prime factor of numerator of sum{k=0..n^2-1}(binomial(2k,k)/4^k)/n". - _David A. Corneth_, Apr 26 2017
