COMMENTS
The next term, if it exists, must be greater than 5*10^7.
Primes p such that there is prime q for which sigma(sigma(2q-1)) = A247954(q) = A000203(A000203(2q-1)) = A000203(A008438(q-1)) = A051027(2q-1) = p.
Corresponding values of primes q: 2, 28669, 126961, ... (A247790).
Conjecture: Subsequence of Mersenne primes.
Conjecture: the next term is 2305843009213693951 when 2305843009213693951 = sigma(sigma(2*500461553802019261-1)) where 500461553802019261 is prime (see comment of Hiroaki Yamanouchi in A247821). - Jaroslav Krizek, Oct 08 2014
EXAMPLE
Prime 7 is in sequence because there is prime 2 such that sigma(sigma(2*2-1)) = sigma(sigma(3)) = sigma(4) = 7.
