COMMENT

It is easy to see that the only two primes in the sequence are 3, 7. Therefore the primes of the version of "Ulam spiral" are divided into four parts (see also A035608): north-east (NE), north-west (NW), south-west (SW), and south-east (SE).

a(n) = [b(n) U c(n)], being b(n)=4*n^2+3*n and c(n)=4*n^2+7*n+3 with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Mar 05 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=n^2+n+[(n+1)/2]

G.f.: x(3+x)/((1+x)(1-x)^3). a(n)=2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-3)+a(n-4). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 20 2009

a(n)=-n-1+Sum_{j=0..n}Sum_{k=0..j}[2+(-1)^k] [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Mar 05 2009]

MAPLE

P:=proc(i) local a, j, k, n; for n from 0 by 1 to i do a:=sum(sum(2-(-1)^k, k=0..j), j=0..n)-n-1; print(a); od; end: P(100); [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Mar 05 2009]
