Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Next term a(9) is too large (99 digits) to include here. - Ray Chandler, Sep 21 2003
These primes are the prime RMS numbers (A140480): primes p such that (1+p^2)/2 is a square r^2. Then r is a Pell number, A000129. - T. D. Noe, Jul 01 2008
Also prime numerators with an odd index in A001333. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Aug 13 2008
r in the above note of T. D. Noe is a prime Pell number (A000129) with an odd index. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Aug 13 2008
General recurrence is a(n) = (a(1)-1)*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(1) >= 4, lim_{n->infinity} a(n) = x*(k*x+1)^n, k = a(1)-3, x = (1+sqrt((a(1)+1)/(a(1)-3)))/2. Examples in the OEIS: a(1)=4 gives A002878, primes in it A121534. a(1)=5 gives A001834, primes in it A086386. a(1)=6 gives A030221, primes in it not in the OEIS {29, 139, 3191, ...}. a(1)=7 gives A002315, primes in it A088165. a(1)=8 gives A033890, primes in it not in the OEIS (do there exist any ?). a(1)=9 gives A057080, primes in it not in the OEIS {71, 34649, 16908641, ...}. a(1)=10 gives A057081, primes in it not in the OEIS {389806471, 192097408520951, ...}. - Ctibor O.
