%N Primes p such that prime(p)^2 - 2 = prime(q) for some prime q.

%C Conjecture: The sequence has infinitely many terms. In general, for any integers a,b,c with a>0 and gcd(a,b,c)=1, if b^2-4*a*c is not a square, a+b+c is odd, and gcd(b,a+c) is not divisible by 3, then there are infinitely many prime pairs {p,q} such that a*prime(p)^2+b*prime(p)+c = prime(q).

%e a(1) = 31 since 31 is a prime, and prime(31)^2-2 = 127^2-2 = 16127 = prime(1877) with 1877 prime.
