a(n) is the number of essentially different ways in which the integers 1,2,3,...,n can be arranged in a sequence such that (1) adjacent integers sum to a prime number and (2) squares of adjacent numbers sum to a prime number. Rotations and reversals are counted only once. |

COMMENT
|
The first 51 terms are given. It is known that a(n) > 0 for n=59-66,71,73-79,81,84,87-96 and 98-200. It is conjectured that a(n) > 0 for all n > 97. A greedy algorithm can be used to quickly find a solution for many n. See the link to puzzle 189 for more details. The Mathematica program uses a backtracking algorithm to count the arrangements. To print the unique arrangements, remove the comments from around the print statement.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=1 because there is essentially one arrangement: {3,2,1,4}.
