COMMENT

1) a(2k-1) is odd, a(2k) is even.

2) Exponent 2: There are infinitely many primes of the forms n^2+m^2 and n^2+m^2+1^2.

3) Exponent k>2: Are there infinitely many primes of the forms n^k+m^k and n^k+m^k+1^k?

EXAMPLE

2^3+2^3+1=17 = A000040(7); a(2)=2.

7^3+15^3+1=3719 = A000040(519); a(7)=15.

21^3+15^3+1=18523 = A000040(2122), a(21)=15.
