[seqfan] Re: A268539: Primes in

[Bob Selcoe]

Hi Robert, Zak and Seqfans,

>>>Each term of A268539 is of the form (x^2-25)/48 = (x-5)(x+5)/48

Unless I'm mistaken, the values of x in Robert's equation are sequence A(x) 
starting a(1)=5 with periodic first differences of [6,2,6,10], so A(x) = 
5,11,13,19,29,35,37,43,53,59,61,67,77,83,85...

Might make for an interesting entry??

Cheers,
Bob Selcoe
