A080131 Conjectured number of generalized Fermat primes of the form (n+1)^2^k + n^2^k, with k>1. +0

COMMENT

Primes that are the sum of consecutive integers (k=0) and consecutive squares (k=1) are excluded. Values of k <= 16 were tested. The sequence A078902 lists some of the generalized Fermat primes. Bjorn and Riesel examined generalized Fermat numbers for n <= 11 and k <= 999.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 3 because there are three Fermat primes (with k>1): 17, 257, 65537.
