A194231 Numbers k such that at least one of k and k+2 is composite, while for every b coprime to k*(k+2), b^(k-1) == 1 (mod k) and b^(k+1) == 1 (mod k+2). 1

%N Numbers k such that at least one of k and k+2 is composite, while for every b coprime to k*(k+2), b^(k-1) == 1 (mod k) and b^(k+1) == 1 (mod k+2).

%C These might be called "Carmichael pseudo-twin-primes".

%F For every b coprime to a(n)*(a(n)+2), 2*b^(a(n)+1) == (b^2-1)*(a(n)+2) (mod a(n)*(a(n)+2)). Conversely (_Max Alekseyev_), if for every b coprime to N*(N+2), 2*b^(N+1) == (b^2-1)*(N+2) (mod N*(N+2)), then N is in the sequence. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Oct 14 2011
