Are { b(2), b(4), b(6), b(8) } the only terms of this sequence which are prime? - M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), Mar 30 2008. Answer: The smallest prime in this sequence which is not of the form b(n) is A054216(155) = 811451682377384625400019885321 [Max Alekseyev, Oct 08 2008]. See A145381 for further prime terms. %C A054216 Other subsequences are: c(n) = ( 10^(6n) - 2*10^(5n) - 10^(3n) - 2*10^n + 1 )/3 (n>=2) and d(n) = 33/101*(100^(404n+71)+1)+10^(404n+71) (n> =0) and e(n) = 33/101*(100^(404n-71)+1)+10^(404n-71) (n>=1). Primes among these include c(10), c(14) and d(0). - M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/ ~mhasler), Oct 09 2008 %C A054216 A positive integer n is in this sequence if and only if n^2 == -1 (mod 10^k + 1) where k is the number of decimal digits in n. Note that k cannot be odd, since in this case 11 divides 10^k + 1 while -1 is not a square modulo 11. [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Oct 09 2008] %F A054216 a(n) = sqrt(A054215(n)). - Max Alekseyev, May 14 2007 %e A054216 E.g. '8242' + '8242-1' gives 82428241 which is 9079^2. %e A054216 Leading zeros are not allowed, which is why c(1)=266327 is not in this sequence although c(1)^2 = 070930 070929. %o A054216 isA054216(n)={ 1==[1,-1]*divrem(n^2,10^(#Str(n^2)\2)) & #Str(n^2)%2==0 } %Y A054216 Cf.
