[seqfan] Re: Periodic Fibonacci-like sequences without multiples of several primes

[Vladimir Shevelev]

The simplest sufficient condition of the periodicity is the following. Let n>3 be such that both numbers p=F(n)+2 and q=F(n+1) are primes. Then Fibonacci-like sequence without multiples of p and q is periodic with period of length n+2. Since then n==1 (mod 3), thus such pairs (p,q) we should seek among only  n==1 (mod 3) . For example, if n=22, then F(22)+2=17713 and F(23)=28657 are both primes. So Fibonacci-like sequence without multiples of 17713 and 28657 is periodic with period of length 24. For what following n>22  F(n)+2 and F(n+1) are both primes?
 
Best regards,
Vladimir
