COMMENTS

Because the Hauy rhombic dodecahedral numbers A046142 are a(n) = (2*n-1)(8*n^2-14*n+7) no Hauy rhombic dodecahedral number can be prime.

FORMULA

Integers n such that both (2*n-1) and (8*n^2-14*n+7) are primes. Integers n such that (2*n-1)*(8*n^2-14*n+7) is an element in the intersection of A046142 and A001358.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 4 because the 3rd Hauy rhombic dodecahedral number is A046142(3) = (2*4-1)(8*4^2-14*4+7) = 553 and because 553 = 7 * 79 is a semiprime.
