%N Lucas-Carmichael numbers: squarefree composite numbers k such that p | k => p+1 | k+1.

%C Wright proves that this sequence is infinite (Main Theorem 2). - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Nov 03 2015

%C Conjecture: if k = p*q*r, p = a*d - 1, q = b*d - 1, r = c*d - 1 are distinct odd primes, with d = gcd(p + 1, q + 1, r + 1) and a*b*c*d divides k + 1, then k is a Lucas-Carmichael number. - _Davide Rotondo_, Dec 23 2020

%C A composite k is a Lucas-Carmichael number if and only if k | A322702(k+1). - _Thomas Ordowski_, May 06 2021
