%C The subsequence of primes {3, 5, 11, 17, 29, 41, 59, 71, 101, 107, 137, 149, 179, 191, ... is exactly A001359 (lesser of twin primes).

%e 1 is in the sequence because 1 = 1*1 and sigma(1) + sigma(1) = 1 + 1 = 2 is prime.

%e 24 is in the sequence because A038548(24) = 4 => four decompositions of 24 = 1*24 = 2*12 = 3*8 = 4*6 and

%e sigma(1) + sigma(24) = 1 + 60 = 61 is prime;

%e sigma(2) + sigma(12) = 3 + 28 = 31 is prime;

%e sigma(3) + sigma(8) = 4 + 15 = 19 is prime;

%e sigma(4) + sigma(6) = 7 + 12 = 19 is prime.
