A156706

For all numbers k(n) congruent to +1 or -1 (mod 6) starting with k(n) = {5,7,11,13,...}, a(k(n)) is the congruence (mod 6) if k(n) is prime and 0 if k(n) is composite.

COMMENTS

Expression for k(n): k(n) = 6*ceiling(n/2) + (-1)^n, so the parity of n gives us the congruence (mod 6) of k(n). - Daniel Forgues, Mar 01 2009
