A120403 a(1)=3; a(n)=first odd number greater than a(n-1) such that 2*a(n)-1 is prime and a(i)+a(n)-1 is prime for all 1<=i<=n-1. 0

%N a(1)=3; a(n)=first odd number greater than a(n-1) such that 2*a(n)-1 is prime and a(i)+a(n)-1 is prime for all 1<=i<=n-1.

%C All elements are 3 mod 6. In base 12 the sequence is 3, 9, 13, 39, 169, 453, 8X3, 2399, 286X39, 8X3533, 1043733, where X is 10 and E is eleven.

%F a(1)=3; a(n) = s where s is the first odd number s>a(n-1) such that 2*s-1 is prime and s+a(i)-1 is prime, 1<=i<=n-1.

%F a(n) = A119752(n) + 1. - Chandler

%e a(2)=9 since 9 is the first odd number > a(1)=3 such that 2*9-1=17 is prime and 9+3-1=13 is prime.
