Comments

Primes p for which A037888(p) = floor((A070939(p)-4)/2). Those numbers contain just two bits mirroring each other, beyond the first and last bits. (All the odd primes without leading zeros begin and end in 1 bits.)

A. Karttunen, J. Moyer: C-program for computing the initial terms of this sequence

Example

a(5)=(101111)2. In this case, from left to right, the third bit agrees with the fourth. The prime 53 = (110101)_2 is not a term since the symmetry is limited to the first and last bits.

Prog

(PARI) A070939(p) = { return(floor(log(p)/log(2))+1) };
A037888(p)={v=binary(p); s=0; j=#v; for(k=1, #v, s+=abs(v[k]- v[j]); j--); return(s/2); }; forprime(p=3, 1171, if(A037888(p)==floor((A070939(p)-4)/2), print1(p, ", ")))
