COMMENTS

Unlike primes of the form x^2+y^2 (A045637) which can be redefined as x^2+4, and primes of the form x^2+y^2+1 (A182475) which can be redefined as primes of the form x^2+10, this sequence appears to have no one-variable analog. In the preceding, x and y are prime.

EXAMPLE

457 is in the sequence because it is a prime number, and 457 = 13^2 + 17^2 - 1.

MATHEMATICA

mx = 25; Union[Select[Flatten[Table[Prime[a]^2 + Prime[b]^2 - 1, {a, mx}, {b, a, mx}]], # < Prime[mx]^2 && PrimeQ[#] &]] (* T. D. Noe, Mar 29 2013 *)
