Discriminant = -20.

Also: Primes of the form 2x^2 - 2xy + 3y^2 with x and y nonnegative. Cf. A106864.

Primes congruent to 2, 3, 7 modulo 20. - Michael Somos, Aug 13 2006

In Z[sqrt(-5)], these numbers are irreducible but not prime. In terms of ideals, they generate principal ideals that are not prime (or maximal). The equation x^2 + 5y^2 = a(n) has no solutions, but x^2 = -5 (mod a(n)) does. For example, 2 * 3 = (1 - sqrt(-5))(1 + sqrt(-5)) and 7 * 23 = (9 - 4*sqrt(-5))(9 + 4*sqrt(-5)). - Alonso del Arte, Dec 19 2015

Formula

Complement(A000040, A020669).

Example

x = 1, y = 1 gives 2x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2 = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7.
x = 1, y = -3 gives 2x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2 = 2 - 6 + 27 = 23.
