A182154 Smallest k >= 2 such that k^(2^n)+1 is the lesser member of a twin prime pair. 1

%I #17 Nov 27 2022 11:06:17

%S 2,2,2,4,2,49592,7132,532,333482,2226686,3543554,23379038,1249625230,

%T 188489906

%N Smallest k >= 2 such that k^(2^n)+1 is the lesser member of a twin prime pair.

%C These lesser of twin prime pairs are also generalized Fermat primes, (not possible for greater of twin prime pairs, except for 5).

%C When extending this sequence, it is useful if the primes b^(2^n)+1 are known in advance (Gallot link). - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Sep 25 2019

%C For later terms, the bigger twin is only a probable prime, not a proven prime. - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Nov 24 2022
