COMMENTS

For even w, p=3 is the only prime for which p^w+2 can be prime because all primes greater than 3 have the form 6k+-1. For odd w, only primes p=3 and p=6k-1 need to be considered because all primes of the form p=6k+1 will produce a number p^w+2 that is divisible by 3. - T. D. Noe, Feb 25 2011
