It is not known if A230624 is infinite. Many of its initial terms are twice primes, so it would interesting if these primes could be characterized in some other way.
a(n)+1 typically has a slowly growing power of 2 as factor. as can be seen here: (PARI) for(k=1, #a, print1(valuation(a[k]+1,2),", ")): 1, 3, 2, 2, 5, 4, 4, 3, 6, 4, 7, 5, 5, 5, 7, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 10, 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 9, 12, 11, 11, 10, 10, 11, 10, 17, 11, 11, 12, 12,.. - Hugo Pfoertner Jan 03 2022
