COMMENTS

This is a bilinear recurrence of Somos 5 type, hence the terms a[n] are associated with a sequence of points P_n=P_0 + n*P on an elliptic curve E. In this case the curve E has integral j-invariant j=10976.

Primes in this strangely prime-rich sequence include: a(5) = 3, a(6) = 5, a(7)= 11, a(8) = 41, a(12) = 49081, a(9) = 233, a(16) = 1476087601, a(21) = 70063780891581107. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Apr 16 2005
