COMMENTS

It is conjectured that this sequence is infinite.

Also primes p such that 8p + 8 is a square. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Dec 18 2003

Also primes p such that 2p+2 is square; also primes p such that (p+1)/2 is square. - Ray Chandler (rayjchandler(AT)sbcglobal.net), Sep 15 2005

Arithmetic numbers which are squares, A003601(p)=A000290(k), p prime, k integer. sigma_1(p)/sigma_0(p)=k^2; p prime, k integer. - Ctibor O. Zizka (ctibor.zizka(AT)seznam.cz), Jul 14 2008
