COMMENT

The product p*q is the sum of p consecutive odd numbers with 2*n-1 the greatest.

For n=4 p*q=3*5=15, 15=7+5+3

For n=5 p*q=3*7=21, 21=9+7+5

For n=6 p*q=5*7=35, 35=11+9+7+5+3

For n=7 p*q=3*11=33, 33=13+11+9

k^2 is the sum of the k first consecutive odd numbers

p=n-k and q=n+k

Assuming a strong version of the Goldbach conjecture, every term exists and we have a(n)=A082467(n)^2, p(n)=A078587(n) and q(n)=A078496(n). [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan 22 2009]
