Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 9. Also, any integer n > 13 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that 2^(phi(k)/2 + phi(m)/6) - 3 is prime.
(ii) Each integer n > 25 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that 3*2^(phi(k)/2 + phi(m)/8) + 1 (or 3*2^(phi(k)/2 + phi(m)/12) + 1 when n > 38) is prime. Also, any integer n > 14 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that 3*2^(phi(k)/2 + phi(m)/12) - 1 is prime.
This conjecture implies that there are infinitely many primes in any of the four forms 2^n + 3, 2^n - 3, 3*2^n + 1, 3*2^n - 1.
We have verified the conjecture for n up to 50000.

			a(10) = 1 since 10 = 3 + 7 with 2^(phi(3)/2 + phi(7)/6) + 3 = 7 prime.
a(11) = 1 since 11 = 4 + 7 with 2^(phi(4)/2 + phi(7)/6) + 3 = 7 prime.
a(12) = 2 since 12 = 3 + 9 = 5 + 7 with 2^(phi(3)/2 + phi(9)/6) + 3 = 7 and 2^(phi(5)/2 + phi(7)/6) + 3 = 11 both prime.
a(769) = 1 since 769 = 31 + 738 with 2^(phi(31)/2 + phi(738)/6) + 3 = 2^(55) + 3 prime.
a(787) = 1 since 787 = 112 + 675 with 2^(phi(112)/2 + phi(675)/6) + 3 = 2^(84) + 3 prime.
a(867) = 1 since 867 = 90 + 777 with 2^(phi(90)/2 + phi(777)/6) + 3 = 2^(84) + 3 prime.
a(869) = 1 since 869 = 51 + 818 with 2^(phi(51)/2 + phi(818)/6) + 3 = 2^(84) + 3 prime.
a(913) = 1 since 913 = 409 + 504 with 2^(phi(409)/2 + phi(504)/6) + 3 = 2^(228) + 3 prime.
a(1085) = 1 since 1085 = 515 + 570 with 2^(phi(515)/2 + phi(570)/6) + 3 = 2^(228) + 3 prime.

Conjecture: (i) Any integer n > 1 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that 2^k*(2^{phi(m)} - 1) + 1 is prime.
(ii) Each integer n > 2 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that 2^k*(2^{phi(m)} - 1) - 1 is prime.
Part (i) of the conjecture implies that this sequence has infinitely many terms. See also A234399.
Note that the sequence contains all Fermat primes and Mersenne primes since 2^k + 1 = 2^k*(2^{phi(1)} - 1) + 1 and 2^p - 1 = 2*(2^{phi(p)} - 1) + 1, where k is a positive integer and p is a prime.

			a(1) = 3 since 2*(2^{phi(1)} - 1) + 1 = 3 is prime.
a(2) = 5 since 2^2*(2^{phi(1)} - 1) + 1 = 5 is prime.
a(3) = 7 since 2*(2^{phi(3)} - 1) + 1 = 7 is prime.
