A157884 For each positive integer m there exist at least one prime Q=Q(m) and at least one prime P=P(m) such that (2m-1)^2 < Q < (2m)^2 - (2m-1) <= P < (2m)^2. Sequence lists pairs P(m), Q(m) for m >= 1. If more than one prime for P or Q exists, we take the smallest.

Examples
m=1: 1 < Q < 3 <= P < 4; the only such prime Q and the only such prime P are Q(1)=2 and P(1)=3, so a(1)=2, a(2)=3. m=2: 9 < Q < 13 <= P < 16; the only such prime Q and the only such prime P are Q(2)=11 and P(2)=13, so a(3)=11, a(4)=13. m=4: 49 < Q < 57 <= P < 64; the only such prime Q is Q(4)=53, but there are two such primes P (59 and 61), so we take the smaller one, thus P(4)=59, so a(7)=53, a(8)=59.
