A224887 Honaker trios: Consecutive prime numbers p < q < r such that p | (qr+1). 0

%I #19 Feb 03 2015 12:55:23

%S 2,3,5,3,5,7,61,67,71

%N Honaker trios: Consecutive prime numbers p < q < r such that p | (qr+1).

%C The primes p, q, r are listed as a(3n-2), a(3n-1), a(3n) for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

%C Caldwell & Cheng show that there are only 3 Honaker trios below 2*10^17 and that these are the only Honaker trios if the Cramér-Granville conjecture is satisfied with a constant M < 199262; they also give other sufficient conditions for the number of Honaker trios to be finite.

%C Strictly speaking, the keywords "fini,full" are thus only conjectured, but given that the Cramér-Granville conjecture is believed to hold with M = 2*exp(-gamma) ~ 1.123, it seems justified to use them.
