Comments

Discriminant = 41. Class = 1. Binary quadratic forms a*x^2+b*x*y+c*y^2 have discriminant d=b^2-4ac and gcd(a,b,c)=1.

Example

a(3) = 23 because we can write 23 = 2*3^2+3*3*1-4*1^2 (or 23 = 2*2^2+7*2*1+1^2).

Mathematica

Reap[For[p = 2, p < 1000, p = NextPrime[p], If[FindInstance[p == 2*x^2 + 3*x*y - 4*y^2, {x, y}, Integers, 1] =!= {}, Print[p]; Sow[p]]]][[2, 1]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 25 2016 *)

Prog

(PARI) select(p->isprime(p)&&qfbsolve(Qfb(1, 7, 2), p), [1..1500]) \\ This is to provide a generic characteristic function ("is_A141181") as 1st arg of select(), there are other ways to produce the sequence more efficiently. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 15 2016
