COMMENTS

Except for the first term, 6 divides seq(n). Let p = 3k+2 for odd k since k even implies p even, a contradiction. Then p = 6m + 5 and q = 6m+7 = 6m1 + 1. So p^q+q^p = (6m+5)^(6m1+1) + (6m1+1)^(6m+5) = 6H + 5^odd + 1^odd. Now 5 = (6-1) and (6-1)^odd + 1 = 6G -1 + 1 = 6G as stated. Are 3 and 17 the only primes in A051442(n)?

EXAMPLE

Consider the second twin prime pair (5,7). 5^7 + 7^5 = 94932, the 2-nd entry.
