%N Primes to which a record size square needs to be added to reach another prime.

%C a(1) = 2 and r(1) = 1.

%C For n > 1, a(n) is the smallest prime for which r(n) > r(n-1) exists so that a(n) + r(n)^2 is prime and a(n) + k^2 are composite for 0 < k < r(n).

%C When omitting the squares in the description, the sequence becomes A002386.

%e a(1) = 2; r(1) = 1.

%e a(2) = 3; 3 + 1^2 is composite, but 3 + 2^2 is prime, so r(2) = 2.

%e a(3) = 5; 5 + k^2 is composite for 0 < k < 6, but 5 + 6^2 is prime, so r(3) = 6.

%e The following are primes: 7 + 2^2, 11 + 6^2, 13 + 2^2, 17 + 6^2, 19 + 2^2, 23 + 6^2.

%e a(4) = 29; 29 + k^2 is composite for 0 < k < 12, but 29 + 12^2 is prime: r(4) = 12.
