Equivalently, integers k == 5 (mod 6) such that 4^k == 4 (mod k) and 2^(k-1) == 4 (mod k-1).

Equivalently, integers k == 5 (mod 6) such that both k and (k-1)/2 are primes or (odd or even) Fermat 4-pseudoprimes (A122781).

Contains terms k of A175625 such that k == 5 (mod 6).

Contains terms k of A303448 such that k == 5 (mod 6).

Many composite terms of this sequence are of the form A007583(m) = (2^(2m+1) + 1)/3 (for m in A303009). It is unknown if there exist composite terms not of this form.

Numbers k such that 2^(k-1) == 3k+1 (mod 3(k-1)k). This sequence contains all safe primes except 7. The term a(20) = 683 = 2*341+1 is the smallest prime that is not safe. - Thomas Ordowski, Jun 07 2021
