COMMENT

Conjecture: There will always be an x,y,n such that x^2 + p = y^n for all primes p.

EXAMPLE

5 is the smallest number that when we add its square to prime 2, we get a

perfect power, 3^3. So 3 is the first entry.

PROGRAM

(PARI) sqplusp(n) = { local(p, x, y, c=0); forprime(p=2, n, for(x=1, n, y=x^2+p; if(ispower(y), print1(exponent(y)", "); c++; break ) ) ); print(); print(c) } exponent(n) = \ Return the exponent if n is a perfect power { local(x, ln, j, e=0); ln=omega(n); x=factor(n); e=x[1, 2]; for(j=2, ln, if(x[j, 2] < e, e=x[j, 2]) ); return(e) }
