%N Odd primes p such that 2p-1 is prime and no p is equal to 2q-1 with q in the sequence.

%C At each step, the smallest possible p is chosen.

%C These are the primes described in lemma 2 of the paper by Holt. - _T. D. Noe_, Sep 28 2012

%C This sequence was used by Holt (2003) to prove that there are at least two solutions k to phi(n+k) = phi(k) for all even n <= 1.38*10^26595411. - _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 19 2021
