431 and 27647 also have the form 2*m^3-1 (431 = 3*12^2-1 = 2*6^3-1 and 27647 = 3*96^2-1 = 2*24^3-1). [Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), May 09 2009]
Or, primes p such that 3*(p+1) is a square. [Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 18 2010]
Obviously m must be either 1 or an even number. So this consists of 1 together with primes of the form 12*u^2 - 1. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 09 2019
