%N Numbers n such that lambda(n) = lambda(n - lambda(n)).

%C Lambda is the function in A002322. If there are infinitely many Sophie Germain primes (conjecture), then this sequence is infinite. Proof: The numbers of the form 3p^2 are in a subsequence if p and 2p+1 are both prime with p > 3, because from the property that lambda(3p^2) = p(p-1) and lambda (p(2p+1)) = p(p-1), if m = 3p^2 then lambda(m-phi(m)) = lambda (3p^2 - p(p-1)) = lambda(p(2p+1)) = p(p-1) = lambda(m).

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A185165/b185165.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%e 75 is in the sequence because lambda(75) = 20, lambda(75 - 20) = lambda(55) = 20.
