%N Chebyshev pseudoprimes to base 3: composite numbers k such that T(k, 3) == 3 (mod k), where T(k, x) is the k-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%C Bang proved that T(p, a) == a (mod p) for every a > 0 and every odd prime. Rayes et al. (1999) defined Chebyshev pseudoprimes to base a as composite numbers k such that T(k, a) == a (mod k).
