Comments

For primes p, q, r the sum p^4 + q^4 + r^4 can be prime only if at least one of p, q, r equals 3. This sequence is the special case q = r = 3.

It is conjectured that the sequence is infinite.

There are prime twins (107, 109) and other consecutive primes (193, 197) in the sequence.

Example

p = 5: 5^4 + 2*3^4 = 787 is prime, so 5 is in the sequence.
p = 7: 7^4 + 2*3^4 = 2563 = 11*233, so 7 is not in the sequence.
p = 107: 107^4 + 2*3^4 = 131079763 is prime, so 107 is in the sequence.
p = 109: 109^4 + 2*3^4 = 141158323 is prime, so 109 is in the sequence.
