Subsequence of A085722.
For n>1, a(n) == 5 (mod 10).
The corresponding pairs of primes (p, q) = ((m-1)^2+1, (m+1)^2+1) are congruent to 7 (mod 10), and the semiprimes are of the form m^2+1 = 2r where r is congruent to 3 (mod 10). So, a(n) = (q - 2r - 1)/2 = (2r - p + 1)/2 = (q - p)/4.
EXAMPLE
15 is in the sequence because 15^2 + 1 = 2*113 is semiprime, and 14^2 + 1 = 197, 16^2 + 1 = 257 are prime numbers.
