Comments

Of course 1 = p^0 for any prime p, so 1 is definitely the power of a prime (comment in A000961).

Only primes of the form 2^m + 1 (2 and Fermat primes) are terms.

Example

8 is in this sequence because both 8 = 2^3 and 3*2^3 - 1 = 23 is prime power.

Prog

(PARI) ispp(n) = if ((n==1) || isprime(n), return (1), isprimepower(n));
isok(n) = ((k=ispp(n)) && ispp(k*n-1)); \\ Michel Marcus, Apr 11 2016
