COMMENT

Note that all terms after the first two are equal to 11 modulo 72, and that (a(n)-11)/72 is a triangular number, since they have to be 2 more than the square of an odd multiple of 3 to be prime, and if k=6m+3 then a(n)=k^2+2=72m(m+1)/2+11.

The quotient cycle length is 2 in the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(p) for these primes. E.g.: cfrac(sqrt(6563),6)= 81+1/(81+1/(162+1/(81+1/(162+1/(81+1/(162+`...`)))))) - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Feb 22 2001
