Comments

Lambda is the function (A002322). If there are infinitely many Sophie Germain primes (conjecture), then this sequence is infinite. Proof: The numbers of the form p(2p+1) are in a subsequence if p and 2p+1 are both prime with p > 3, because from the property that lambda(p(2p+1)) = p(p-1), if m = p(2p+1) then lambda(m+phi(m)) = lambda (p(2p+1) + p(p-1)) = lambda(3p^2) = p(p-1) = lambda(m).

Example

36 is in the sequence because lambda(36) = 6, and lambda(36 + 6) = lambda(42) = 6.
