%C This array is used to compute A269254: A269254(n) = least k such that A(n,k) is a prime, or -1 if no such k exists.

%C For detailed theory, see [Hone]. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Feb 09 2018

%C The array can be extended to k<0 with A(n, k) = -A(n, -k-1) for all k in Z. - _Michael Somos_, Jun 19 2023

%F A(n,0) = 1, A(n,1) = n + 1, A(n,k) = n*A(n,k-1) - A(n,k-2), n >= 1, k >= 2.

%F G.f. for row n: (1 + x)/(1 - n*x + x^2), n >= 1.

%F A(n, k) = B(-n, k) where B = A29045. - _Michael Somos_, Jun 19 2023
