COMMENTS

Conjecture 1: If p and p+2 are prime (twin primes), then p+2 divides p^(p+2)+2. Compared to the 1517 twin primes less than 130000, there were 33 pseudoprime occurrences. Conjecture 2: If for a randomly chosen prime p, p+2 divides p^(p+2)+2, then there is a greater than 98% chance that p and p+2 are twin primes. The sequence also contains several Carmichael numbers. In addition, If we relax the condition that p is prime or just odd, we get A001567 341,561,645,1105,1387,1729,1905,2047.. Sarrus numbers.

FORMULA

For primes p if p+2 divides p^(p+2) + 2 then p+2 is likley to be prime. If p+2 is composite, then p+2 is a pseudotwinprime.

EXAMPLE

For prime p = 643, 645 divides 643^(645)+ 2 and 645 is composite.
