COMMENT

According to Karsten Meyer (arbol01(AT)gmx.de), May 16 2006, 4 should be excluded, following the strict definition in Crandall and Pomerance.

Theorem: If both numbers q & (2q-1) are primes(q is in the sequence A005382) then n=q*(2q-1) is a pseudoprime to base 5(n is in the sequence) iff q is of the form 10k+1. 1891,88831,146611,218791,721801,... are such terms. This sequence is a subsequence of A122782. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 14 2006
