%N Doubly prime home primes (DPHP).

%C Take all the factors generated during the search for a home prime, put them together in the order found (just like when looking for the home prime itself) and test for primality. If it is a prime you have a DPHP.

%C Further terms are 74, 75, 95.

%C The number of iterations must be more than 1, preventing numbers such as 12 (12->2*2*3->223) from being a DPHP. - _Dana Jacobsen_, May 06 2015

%C An additional restriction is that a number is not a DPHP if it appears as the result as a product in any home prime search. So 25 is not a DPHP because a(10) => 2*5->25 => 5*11->511 => 7*73->773, and 25 appears in the process. - _Dana Jacobsen_, May 23 2015

%C 49 and 77 do not currently have known home prime sequences, hence it is unknown if they are in the DPHP sequence. - _Dana Jacobsen_, May 06 2015

%e Starting number 16 takes 4 iterations to get to the home prime of 31636373:

%e 16 -> 2 * 2 * 2 * 2;

%e 2222 -> 2 * 11 * 101;

%e 211101 -> 3 * 11 * 6397;

%e 3116397 -> 3 * 163 * 6373;

%e 31636373 -> prime.

%e Now take all the factors found, in order: 2222211101311639731636373, a prime.

%e So 16 leads to a DPHP.

%Y Cf. A037274.
