COMMENT

Also called geometrically strong primes. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 08 2002

The idea can be extended by defining a geometrically strong prime of order k to be a prime that is greater than the geometric mean of r neighbors on both sides for all r = 1 to k but not for r = k+1. Similar generalizations can be applied to the sequence A051634. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 08 2002
