A229064 Lesser of Fermi-Dirac twin primes: both a(n)(>=5) and a(n)+2 are in A050376. 3

%N Lesser of Fermi-Dirac twin primes: both a(n)(>=5) and a(n)+2 are in A050376.

%C Terms of A050376 play the role of primes in Fermi-Dirac arithmetic. Therefore, if q and q+2 are consecutive terms of A050376, then we call them twin primes in Fermi-Dirac arithmetic. The sequence lists lessers of them.

%C There exist conjecturally only 5 Fermat primes F, such that both F-1 and F are in A050376. If we add pair (3,4), then we obtain exactly 6 such pairs as an analog of the unique pair (2,3) in usual arithmetic, which is not considered as a pair of twin primes.

%C For n>4, numbers n such that n and n+2 are of the form p^(2^k), where p is prime and k >= 0. - _Ralf Stephan_, Sep 23 2013

%C If a(n) is not the lesser of twin primes (A001359), then either a(n) or a(n)+2 is a perfect square. For example, a(4)=9 and a(7)=23. Note that the first case is possible only if a(n) = 3^(2^m), m>=1. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Jun 27 2014

%e 2, 3 are not in the sequence, although pairs (2,4) and (3,5) are in A050376. Indeed, 2 and 4 as well as 3 and 5 are not consecutive terms of A050376.
