Conjecture: (i) For each a = 2, 3, ... there is a positive integer N(a) such that for any integer n > N(a) there is a positive integer k < n with pi(n + k^a) prime. In particular, we may take (N(2), N(3), ..., N(9)) = (1, 1, 9, 26, 8, 9, 18, 1).
(ii) If n > 6, then pi(n^2 + k^2) is prime for some 0 < k < n. If n > 27, then pi(n^3 + k^3) is prime for some 0 < k < n. In general, for each a = 2, 3, ..., if n is sufficiently large then pi(n^a + k^a) is prime for some 0 < k < n.
For any integer n > 1, it is easy to show that pi(n + k) is prime for some 0 < k < n.

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 1 since pi(5 + 1^2) = 3 is prime.
a(6) = 1 since pi(6 + 5^2) = pi(31) = 11 is prime.
a(9) = 2 since pi(9 + 3^2) = pi(18) = 7 and pi(9 + 5^2) = pi(34) = 11 are both prime.
a(12) = 1 since pi(12 + 10^2) = pi(112) = 29 is prime.
