COMMENT

For small values of n, these numbers exhibit higher and lower values as n increases. Conjectures: After n=17 a(n) > 1. There exists an n_1 such that a(n) is < a(n+1) for all n >= n_1.

Same as the number of primes between n^2 and n^2+n. Opperman conjectured in 1882 that a(n)>0. - T. D. Noe, Sep 16 2008
