%N The elements of the set P3 in ascending order.

%C P3 is the largest set of primes satisfying the conditions: (1) 3 is not in P3; (2) a prime p>3 is in P3 iff all prime divisors of p-1 are in P3.

%C P3 is also the set of all primes p for which the Pratt tree for p has no node labeled 3.

%C It is conjectured that this sequence is infinite.

%F Ford proves that a(n) >> n^k for some k > 1. "It appears" that k can be taken as 1.612. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 26 2012

%e 11 is in P3, because 11-1 = 2*5 and 2, 5 are in P3.
