COMMENTS

This is the last sequence on p. 15 of Smyth. The Lucas sequence with P = 3, Q = 5

is defined as v=2,3,-1,-18,-49,-57,.. where v(n) = P*v(n-1)-Q*v(n-2), with g.f. (2-3x)/(1-3x+5x^2).

The indices n such that n|v(n) define the sequence

T = 1,3,9,27,81,153,243,459,... as listed by Smyth.

The OEIS sequence shows all distinct prime factors of elements of T.
