COMMENTS

In the Luca-Walsh paper it is shown that there are infinitely many numbers not in this sequence. See A098047.

a(n)=0 for Fermat primes (A019434). a(n)=1 for safe primes (A005385). a(n)=2 for A090866. The least prime p for which (p-1)/2-phi(p-1)=n or 0 if there is no such prime is given by A134765(n). Sequence A134854(k) gives the least prime for which a(n)=2^(k-1). For k not a power of 2, it can be shown that if k is in this sequence, then it appears for a prime p <= 1+k^2. - T. D.
