COMMENT

Define array A[k,n] for k>2, n>=0, where A[k,n] = n-th k-gonal number = k((n-2)*k - (n-4))/2. Then define array B[k,n] = least m such that the A[k,n] + m-th k-gonal number is prime. This sequence is the main diagonal of B. The array B[k,n] begins: k.|.B[k,n] 3.|..2.1.0.1.1.7.4.1.1.7.3... 4.|.-1.2.1.2.1.2.5.2.3.4.1... 5.|..2.3.0.1.1.3.4.1.4.3... 6.|.-1.1.1.4.1.4.4.2.7.4... 7.|..2.3.0.1.2.3.7.1.1.4... 8.|.-1.4.3.2.1.2.1.4.3.2... B[4,0] = -1 because 0-th 4-gonal number is 0-th square = 0 and 0 + c^2 cannot be prime for any integer c. B[5,6] = 4 because 6-th + 5-th pentagonal numbers = 51 + 22 = 73 is prime. B[8,2] = 3 because 3rd + 2nd octagonal numbers = 21 + 8 = 29 is prime.
The sequence of associated primes starts 3, 2, 5, 43, 41, 73, 157, 227, 271, 433, 541, 857, 35107, 1193, 1427,... - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 12 2008
