COMMENT
|
This sequence is probably finite.
Goldbach conjectured that all odd composites are sum of a prime and twice a square. a[9]=5777 and a[10]=5993 are the only known exceptions. Elements a[2]..a[8] are the odd Stern primes (cf. A042978). The next element of the sequence, if it exists, is larger than 1e9. - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Nov 16 2007
The next term, if it exists, is larger than 2e13. - Benjamin Chaffin (chaffin(AT)gmail.com), Mar 28 2008
