COMMENT

The first three terms are Syl(0)*Syl(1), Syl(1)*Syl(2) and Syl(2)*Syl(3). Syl means Sylvester's sequence, see A000058.

Products of two consecutive numbers p and q in Sylvester's sequence with primes p and q are in the sequence.

Let p and q be consecutive prime Sylvester numbers. Then: pq - 1 = p*(p^2 - p + 1) - 1 = p^3 - p^2 + p - 1 = (p^2 + 1)*(p - 1) = (p + p^2 - p + 1)*(p - 1) = (p + q)*(p - 1) it means that: (pq - 1) is divisible by (p + q). [From Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), Aug 21 2009]

(p-k)*(q-k) = k^2 + 1 for some integer k, providing a fast way for finding appropriate p,q [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Aug 26 2009]
