Squares in A269345; see also the Mathematica code. - Waldemar Puszkarz, Feb 27 2016

It is conjectured (see A020483) that every even number is a difference of primes, and this is known to be true for even numbers < 10^11. If so,this sequence consists of the odd squares n such that n+2 is composite. - Robert Israel, Feb 28 2016

Formula

n^2 - A106546 with 0's removed.

Example

a(2)=49 because it is the second perfect square which is impossible to obtain subtracting a prime from another one.
64 is not in the sequence because 64=67-3 (difference of two primes).
