Same as n such that n divides A008864(n). - David James Sycamore, Jul 23 2018
Also numbers n such that prime(n) == n-1 (mod n). - Muniru A Asiru, Jul 24 2018
EXAMPLE
10 is a member because the 10th prime, 29, is congruent to -1 mod 10.
MATHEMATICA
NextPrim[n_] := Block[{k = n + 1}, While[ !PrimeQ[k], k++ ]; k]; p = 1; Do[ If[Mod[p = NextPrim[p], n] == n - 1, Print[n]], {n, 1, 10^9}] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 18 2004 *)
