COMMENTS
If p is a prime, then A056854(p)==7 (mod p).
This sequence contains the even composite integers for which the congruence holds.
The generalized Pell-Lucas sequence of integer parameters (a,b) defined by V(m+2)=a*V(m+1)-b*V(m) and V(0)=2, V(1)=a, satisfy the identity V(p)==a (mod p) whenever p is prime and b=-1,1.
For a=7 and b=1, V(m) recovers A056854(m).
