Unlike A001566, which begins with 4 consecutive primes, this sequence can never be prime after a(0) = 3, because the first two terms are both multiples of 3, hence all later terms are. This is the k = 3 row of the array A(k, 0) = 3, A(k, n) = A(k, n-1)^2 - k; and A001566 is the k = 2 row. A003096(n+1) is the k = 1 row. %H A186750 Vincenzo Librandi, <a href="/A186750/b186750.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..11</a> %H A186750 <a href="/index/Aa#AHSL">Index entries for sequences of form a(n+1)=a(n)^2 + ...</a> %F A186750 a(n) ~ c^(2^n), where c = 2.3959550115176494685408322564302422183669584045032057908382914927198090627... - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 18 2014 %t A186750 RecurrenceTable[{a[0] == 3, a[n] == a[n-1]^2 - 3}, a, {n, 0, 10}] (* _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 18 2014 *) %t A186750 Drop[Abs[NestList[#^2 - 3 &, 0, 9]], 1] (* _Alonso del Arte_, Apr 08 2016 *) %Y A186750 Cf.
