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”).

COMMENTS
a(n) = 0 iff 2n+1 is prime and 2n+3 is prime; a(n) = (n+1)*(2n+1) iff 2n+1 is prime and 2n+3 is composite; a(n) = (n+1)*(2n+3) iff 2n+1 is composite and 2n+3 is prime; a(n) = 1 iff 2n+1 is composite and 2n+3 is composite.
EXAMPLE
a(2) = (4!+1)*(6!+1) mod (5*7) = 18025 mod 35 = 0, thus 2*2+1 = 5 and 2*2+3 = 7 are primes.
