%N Prime hypotenuses of Pythagorean triangles with consecutive integer sides.

%C These primes belong to A001653.

%C From _Jianing Song_, Jan 02 2019: (Start)

%C Essentially the same sequence as A086383.

%C If p is a term then it is a unique-period prime in base sqrt(2*p^2 - 1). (End)

%F a(n) = A086383(n+1). - _Jianing Song_, Jan 02 2019

%e 29 is included because it is prime and it is the hypotenuse of the 20, 21, 29 Pythagorean triangle.

%p f:= gfun:-rectoproc({a(n)=6*a(n-1)-a(n-2),a(1)=1,a(2)=5},a(n),remember):

%p select(isprime, [seq(f(n),n=1..1000)]); # _Robert Israel_, Oct 13 2015

%t Select[Sqrt[#^2+(#+1)^2]&/@With[{p=3+2Sqrt[2]},NestList[Floor[p #]+3&,3,120]],PrimeQ] (* _Harvey P. Dale_, May 02 2018 *)

%o (PARI) t(n) = if(n<3, 5^(n-1), 6*t(n-1)-t(n-2));
