%N Primes on axis of Ulam square spiral (with rows ... / 7 8 9 / 6 1 2 / 5 4 3 / ... ) with origin at (1).

%C Quadrants are numbered clockwise: 4=north, 1=east, 2=south, 3=west. The spiral numbers falling on axes (whether prime or not) are 4=north (2n+1)^2-n, 1=east (2n+1)^2+n+1, 2=south (2n)^2-(n-1), 3=west (2n)^2+n+1.

%C Primes to the left, right, above or below the 1 in the example in A054552.

%C This is the union of the primes in A168022, A168023, A168025 and A168027. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 11 2014

%e For n=0, quadrant = 1, a(1) = 2, distance = 1;

%e for n=1, quadrant = 1, a(2) = 11, distance = 2;

%e for n=2, quadrant = 3, a(3) = 19, distance = 2.
