COMMENTS

For primes p, q, r the sum p^4+q^4+r^4 can be prime only if at least one of p, q, r equals 3. This sequence is the special case q = 13, r = 3.

It is conjectured that the sequence is infinite.

There are prime twins (11, 13) and other consecutive primes (421, 431; 1823, 1831) in the sequence.

EXAMPLE

p = 3: 3^4+13^4+3^4 = 28723 is prime, so 3 is in the sequence.

p = 5: 5^4+13^4+3^4 = 29267 = 7*37*113, so 5 is not in the sequence.

p = 17: 17^4+13^4+3^4 = 112163 is prime, so 17 is in the sequence.

p = 83: 83^4+13^4+3^4 = 47486963 is prime, so 83 is in the sequence.
