A235712 Least prime p < prime(n) with 2^p + 1 a quadratic nonresidue modulo prime(n), or 0 if such a prime p does not exist. 5

%N Least prime p < prime(n) with 2^p + 1 a quadratic nonresidue modulo prime(n), or 0 if such a prime p does not exist.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 3.

%C Note that 2^3 + 1 = 3^2 is a quadratic residue modulo any prime p > 3. Also, there is no prime p < prime(316) = 2089 with 2^p + 1 a primitive root modulo 2089.

%C See also A234972 and A235709 for similar conjectures.

%e a(4) = 2 since 2^2 + 1 = 5 is a quadratic nonresidue modulo prime(4) = 7.
