COMMENTS

An odd composite number n is a Fermat pseudoprime to base b iff b^(n-1) == 1 mod n. Fermat pseudoprimes to base 2 are often simply called pseudoprimes.

Theorem: If both numbers q and 2q-1 are primes (q is in the sequence A005382) and n=q*(2q-1) then 2^(n-1)==1 (mod n) (n is in the sequence) iff q is of the form 12k+1. 2701,18721,49141,104653,226801,665281,721801,... is the related subsequence. This subsequence is also a subsequence of the sequences A005937 and A020137. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 15 2006

Also composite numbers n such that n divides 2^n - 2. It is known that all primes p divide 2^(p-1) - 1. There are only two known numbers n such that n^2 divides 2^(n-1) - 1, A001220(n) = {1093, 3511} Wieferich primes p: p^2 divides 2^(p-1) - 1. 1093^2 and 3511^2 are the terms of a(n). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Nov 06 2006

An odd composite number 2n+1 is in the sequence iff multiplicative order of 2 (mod 2n+1) divides 2n. - Ray Chandler (rayjchandler(AT)sbcglobal.net), May 26 2008

Contribution from Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Dec 28 2008: (Start)

The Carmichael numbers A002997 are subset of this sequence.

For the Sarrus numbers which are not Carmichael numbers see A153508. (End)
