Rational primes that decompose in the field Q(sqrt(-2)). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 25 2017

Fermat knew of the relationship between a prime being congruent to 1 or 3 mod 8 and its being the sum of a square and twice a square, and claimed to have a firm proof of this fact. These numbers are not primes in Z[sqrt(-2)], as they have x - y sqrt(-2) as a divisor. - Alonso del Arte, Dec 07 2012

Terms m in A047471 with A010051(m) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 29 2012

This sequence gives the primes p which satisfy norm(rho(p)) = + 1 with rho(p) := 2*cos(Pi/p) (the length ratio (smallest diagonal)/side in the regular p-gon). The norm of an algebraic number (over Q) is the product over all zeros of its minimal polynomial. Here norm(rho(p)) = (-1)^delta(p)* C(p, 0), with the degree delta(p) = A055034(p) = (p-1)/2. For the minimal polynomial C see A187360. For p == 1 (mod 8) the norm is C(p, 0) (see a comment on 4*A005123) and for p == 3 (mod 8) the norm is -C(p, 0) (see a comment on A186297). For the primes with norm(rho(p)) = -1 see A003628. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 24 2013

If p is a member then it has a unique representation as x^2+2y^2 [Frei, Theorem 3]. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 30 2014

Primes that are the quarter perimeter of a Heronian triangle. Such primes are unique to the Heronian triangle (see Yiu link). - Frank M Jackson, Nov 30 2014

Example

Since 11 is prime and 11 == 3 (mod 8), 11 is in the sequence. (Also 11 = 3^2 + 2 * 1^2 = (3 + sqrt(-2))(3 - sqrt(-2)).)
Since 17 is prime and 17 == 1 (mod 8), 17 is in the sequence.
