Discriminant = 229. Class = 3. Binary quadratic forms a*x^2+b*x*y+c*y^2 have discriminant d = b^2-4ac. They can represent primes only if gcd(a,b,c)=1. [Edited by M. F. Hasler, Jan 27 2016]

Appears to be the complement of A141165 in A268155, primes that are squares mod 229. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 27 2016

Examples

			a(2)=53 because we can write 53= 3^2+15*3*1-1^2

PARI

is_A141166(p)=qfbsolve(Qfb(1,15,-1),p) \\ Returns nonzero (actually, a solution [x,y]) iff p is a member of the sequence. For efficiency it is assumed that p is prime. Example usage: select(is_A141166,primes(500)) - M. F. Hasler, Jan 27 2016
