A224887 Honaker trios: Consecutive prime numbers p < q < r such that p | (qr+1). 0
2, 3, 5, 3, 5, 7, 61, 67, 71 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)
OFFSET
1,1
COMMENTS
The primes p, q, r are listed as a(3n-2), a(3n-1), a(3n) for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Caldwell & Cheng show that there are only 3 Honaker trios below 2*10^17 and that these are the only Honaker trios if the Cramér-Granville conjecture is satisfied with a constant M < 199262; they also give other sufficient conditions for the number of Honaker trios to be finite.
Strictly speaking, the keywords "fini,full" are thus only conjectured, but given that the Cramér-Granville conjecture is believed to hold with M = 2*exp(-gamma) ~ 1.123, it seems justified to use them.
