COMMENT

a(n) is prime for n = 2, 3, 5, 15, 29, ... a(n) is semiprime for n = 7, 11, 21, 33, ... For Fibonacci numbers (A000045) F(i) we have SUM[from i=1 to n]F(i) = F(n)*F(n+1).

FORMULA

a(n) = SUM[from i=1 to n][A000213(i)]^2.

a(n)= 3*a(n-1) +a(n-2) +3*a(n-3) -7*a(n-4) +a(n-5) -a(n-6) +a(n-7). G.f.: (x^3-x^2+3*x-1)*(1+x)^2/((x-1)*(x^3+x^2+3*x-1)*(x^3-x^2-x-1)). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 11 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1^2 = 1.

a(2) = 1^2 + 1^2 = 1.

a(3) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 = 3, prime.

a(4) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 = 12.

a(5) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 = 37, prime.

a(6) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 9^2 = 118 = 2 * 59, semiprime.

a(7) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 9^2 + 17^2 = 407 = 11 * 37, semiprime.
