[seqfan] Re: Pseudo-arithmetic progressions

[Richard Mathar]

The conjectures in http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2010-July/005284.html are:

vs> Some very plausible conjectures for A179383:
vs> 
vs>  1) The sequence consists of primes and squares of primes;
vs>  2) The set of squares is finite;
vs>  3) A prime p>=5 is in the sequence iff it has primitive root 2 (A001122); 
vs>  4) For n>=2, a(n)=A139099(n+1).

Conjectures 3 and 4 are incompatible, because A139099 contains
the non-primes 1, 9=3^2, 25=5^2, 121=11^2, 1369=37^2, and no further non-prime
up to 100000. So *a**lot* of the A001122 are missing supposing A179383 and A139099
are essentially the same.
