A209874 Least m > 0 such that the prime p=A002313(n+1) divides m^2+1. 14

%N Least m > 0 such that the prime p=A002313(n+1) divides m^2+1.

%C This yields the prime factors of numbers of the form N^2+1, cf. formula in A089120: For n=0,1,2,... check whether N = +/- a(n) [mod 2*A002313(n+1)], if so, then A002313(n+1) is a prime factor of N^2+1.

%C Obviously, p then divides (2kp +/- a(n))^2+1 for all k >=0 ; in particular it will be the least prime factor of such numbers if there is no earlier match.

%C Alternatively one could deal separately with the case of odd N, for which p=2 divides N^2+1, and even N, for which only Pythagorean primes A002144(n)=A002313(n+1) can be prime factors of N^2+1.

%F For n>0, A209874(n) = 2*sqrt(-1/4 mod A002144(n)), where sqrt(a mod p) stands for the positive x < p/2 such that x^2=a in Z/pZ.

%F A209874(n) = A209877(n)*2 for n>0.

%o (PARI) A209874(n)=if( n, 2*lift(sqrt(Mod(-1, A002144[n])/4)), 1)

%o (PARI) /* for illustrative purpose: a(n) is the smaller of the 2 possible remainders mod 2*p of numbers N such that N^2+1 has p as smallest prime factor */ forprime( p=1,199, p>2 & p%4 != 1 & next; my(c=[]); for(i=1,9e9, factor(i^2+1)[1,1]==p |next; c=vecsort(concat(c,i%(2*p)),,8); #c==1 || print1(","c[1]) || break))
