Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Primes corresponding to A096012 and subset of A002496.
For n > 1, a(n) ==7 (mod 10) because n ==4 (mod 10).
Conjecture: this sequence is infinite.

EXAMPLE
For n = 4, n^2 + 1 = 17 is prime and (n+2)^2 + 1 = 37 is also prime => 17 is in the sequence.
MAPLE
for n from 1 to 4000 do: x:=n^2+1:y:=(n+2)^2+1:if type(x, prime)=true and type(y, prime)=true then printf(`%d, `, x): else fi:od:
