A056826 Primes p such that (p^p + 1)/(p + 1) is a prime. +0

1,1

COMMENT

Note that (n^n+1)/(n+1) is prime only if n is prime, in which case it equals cyclotomic(2n,n), the 2n-th cyclotomic polynomial evaluated at x=n. This sequence is a subset of A088817. Are there only a finite number of these primes? - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Oct 20 2003
