%N Primes of form 3n-1.

%C Primes p such that 1+x+x^2 is irreducible over GF(p). [Joerg Arndt, Aug 10 2011]

%C Primes p dividing sum(k=0,p,C(2k,k)) -1 = A006134(p)-1 - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 08 2003

%C A039701(A049084(a(n))) = 2; A134323(A049084(a(n))) = -1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 21 2007

%C The set of primes of the form 3n - 1 is a superset of the set of lesser of twin primes larger than three (A001359). - Paul Muljadi, Jun 05 2008

%C Primes of this form do not occur in or as divisors of {n^2+n+1}. See A002383 (n^2+n+1 = prime), A162471 (prime divisors of n^2+n+1 not in A002383), and A002061 (numbers of the form n^2-n+1). [From _Daniel Tisdale_, Jul 04 2009]

%C Or, primes not in A007645. A003627 UNION A007645 = A000040. Also, primes of the form 6*k-5/2-+3/2. [From Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Jan 28 2010]

%C Except for first term "2", all these prime numbers are of the form: 6*n-1. - Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jul 13 2011.

%C A088534(a(n)) = 0. [_Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 30 2011]

%C For n>1: Numbers k such that (k-4)! mod k =(-1)^(floor(k/3)+1)*floor((k+1)/6), k>4. [From Gary Detlefs, Jan 02 2012]

%C Binomial(a(n),3)/a(n)= (3*A024893(n)^2+A024893(n))/2, n>1. - Gary Detlefs, May 06 2012
