A255904 Numbers that are neither triangular nor the sum of a positive triangular number and a prime. 0

%I #24 Sep 08 2022 08:46:11

%S 2,7,61,211,216

%N Numbers that are neither triangular nor the sum of a positive triangular number and a prime.

%C Probably finite.

%C First four terms are primes, and are in A065397.

%C If it exists, a(6) > 5*10^6. - _Derek Orr_, Mar 12 2015

%C If it exists, a(6) > 4*10^9. - _Hiroaki Yamanouchi_, Mar 16 2015

%e a(2) = 7 is in the sequence because 7 is not a triangular number, and cannot be written as a sum of the primes < 7 {2, 3, 5} and one of the positive triangular numbers < 7 {1, 3, 6}.
