%N Numbers k such that (k^2 + 1)/2 is prime.

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 24 2012: (Start)

%C a(n) = sqrt(8*A129307(n)+1) = sqrt(2*A027862(n)-1), n >= 1.

%C a(n) is the nontrivial solution of the congruence a(n)^2 == 1 (Modd A027862(n)). The trivial one is +1. For Modd n see a comment on A203571. E.g., a(3)^2 = 81 == 1 (Modd 41), see a comment on A027862.
