Comments

Primes of form p*q + 2, where p and q are primes.

11 is the only prime of this form where p=q. For prime p>3, 3 divides p^2+2. - T. D. Noe, Mar 01 2006

The asymptotic growth of this sequence is relevant for A204142. We have a(10^k) = (11, 79, 1571, 27961, 407741, 5647823, ...). - M. F. Hasler, Feb 13 2012
