COMMENTS
| Except for the initial term, primes equal to the product of two consecutive even numbers minus 1. - Giovanni Teofilatto (g.teofilatto(AT)tiscalinet.it), Sep 24 2004
With exception first term 2, primes p such that continued fraction of (1+Sqrt[p])/2 have period 4. [From Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Feb 03 2010]
