A337233 Composite integers m such that P(m)^2 == 1 (mod m), where P(m) is the m-th Pell number A000129(m). Also, odd composite integers m such that U(m)^2 == 1 (mod m) and V(m) == 6 (mod m), where U(m)=A001109(m) and V(m)=A003499(m) are the m-th generalized Lucas and Pell-Lucas numbers of parameters a=6 and b=1, respectively.

Comments

For a, b integers, the following sequences are defined:

generalized Lucas sequences by U(m+2)=a*U(m+1)-b*U(m) and U(0)=0, U(1)=1,

generalized Pell-Lucas sequences by V(m+2)=a*V(m+1)-b*V(m) and V(0)=2, V(1)=a.

In general, one has U^2(p) == 1 and V(p)==a (mod p) whenever p is prime and b=1, -1.

The composite numbers satisfying these congruences may be called weak generalized Lucas-Bruckner pseudoprimes of parameters a and b.

For a=2 and b=-1, U(m) recovers A000129(m) (Pell numbers).

For a=6 and b=1, we have U(m)=A001109(m) and V(m)=A003499(m).

This sequence contains the odd composite integers for which the congruence A000129(m)^2 == 1 (mod m) holds.

This is also the sequence of odd composite numbers satisfying the congruences A001109(m)^2 == 1 and A003499(m)==a (mod m).
