COMMENT

Primes equal to the difference of two consecutive cubes. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 21 2004

Primes p such that 4p = 1+3n^2 for some integer n. - Michael Somos Sep 15 2005

Equivalently, primes of the form p=1+3k(k+1) (and then k=floor(sqrt(p/3))). Also: primes p such that n^2(p+n) is a cube for some n>0. - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Nov 28 2007

The cuban primes may be generated from the hexagonal centered numbers by eliminating all the items that may be expressed as 36*i*j+6*i+6*j+1 with i,j integer [From Giacomo Fecondo (jackfertile(AT)alice.it), Mar 13 2009, Mar 17 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 7 = 1+3k(k+1) with k=1 is the smallest prime of that form.

a(10^5) = 1792617147127 since this is the 100000th prime of that form.
