COMMENT

36m^2+12m+7=(6m+1)^2+6 which is six more than a square.

FORMULA

a(n) =(-1+/-sqrt(A056909(n)-6))/6, choosing +/- to give an integer result for each n

EXAMPLE

a(2)=-2 since 36*(-2)^2+12*(-2)+7=127 which is prime (as well as being six more than a square)

CROSSREFS

This sequence and formula generate all primes of the form k^2+6, i.e. A056909. Except for the first term, none of the a(n) are a multiple of 7 and so the rest of this sequence is a subsequence of A047304. Cf. A056900, A056902, A056904, A056906, A056907, A056908.

Sequence in context: A023761 A032902 A018578 this_sequence A131934 A102570 A113007
