COMMENTS

According to Borwein and Choi, if the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis is true, then this sequence has no larger terms, otherwise there may be one term greater than 10^11. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Apr 08 2004

Note that n+1 must be prime for all n in this sequence. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Apr 28 2004

Borwein and Choi prove (Theorem 6.2) that the equation N=xy+xz+yz has an integer solution x,y,z>0 if N contains a square factor and N is not 4 or 18. In the following simple proof explicit solutions are given. Let N=mn^2, m,n integer, m>0, n>1. If n<m+1: x=n, y=n(n-1), z=m+1-n. If n=m+1, n>3: x=6, y=n-3, z=n^2-4n+6. If n>m+1: if n=0 (mod m+1): x=m+1, y=m(m+1), z=m(n^2/(m+1)^2-1), if n=k (mod m+1), 0<k<m+1 : x=k, y=m+1-k, z=m(n^2-k^2)/(m+1)+k(k-1) - Herm Jan Brascamp (brashoek(AT)hi.nl), May 28 2007
