Ward's conjecture is a statement in number theory concerning the distribution of prime numbers. Specifically, it pertains to the existence of infinitely many prime numbers of the form \\( n^2 + k \\), where \\( n \\) is a positive integer and \\( k \\) is a fixed integer. The conjecture asserts that for each positive integer \\( k \\), there are infinitely many integers \\( n \\) such that \\( n^2 + k \\) is prime.
