%N A167276 Primes p such that p^2=x^2+y^2-1 with x and y also prime.
%C A167276 Appears to be infinite.
%C A167276 Since (5*x+13)^2 + 1 = (3*x+7)^2 + (4*x+11)^2, it appears that there are infinitely many members of this sequence of the form 5*x+13 where x is an even number, that is the form of A030431(n). See the solution 78 at page 49 in the given reference (250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory) for the related conjecture. - _Altug Alkan_, Mar 30 2016
