A327378 Smallest prime p in a sequence of six consecutive primes (p,q,r,u,v,w) for which the conic section discriminant Delta < 0 for the general conic section px^2 + qy^2 + rz^2 + 2uyz + 2vxz + 2wxy = 0. 0

%N Smallest prime p in a sequence of six consecutive primes (p,q,r,u,v,w) for which the conic section discriminant Delta < 0 for the general conic section px^2 + qy^2 + rz^2 + 2uyz + 2vxz + 2wxy = 0.

%C Delta = pqr + 2uvw - pu^2 - qv^2 - rw^2.

%C Using consecutive primes in the general conic section and computing Delta, the value is most often (~98%) > 0.

%e For (p,q,r,u,v,w) = (2,3,5,7,11,13), Delta = 726 > 0. Hence, p=2 (smallest prime) is not in the sequence.

%e For (p,q,r,u,v,w) = (863,877,881,883,887,907), Delta = -73164 < 0. Hence, p=863 (smallest prime) is a member of the sequence.
