cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A221981 Primes q = 4*p+1, where p == 2 (mod 5) is also prime.

Moree (2012) says that Chebyshev observed that if q = 4p + 1 is prime, with prime p == 2 (mod 5), then 10 is a primitive root modulo q.
If the sequence is infinite, then Artin's conjecture ("every nonsquare integer n != -1 is a primitive root of infinitely many primes q") is true for n = 10.
The corresponding primes p are A221982.
The sequence is infinite under Dickson's conjecture, thus Dickson's conjecture implies Artin's conjecture for n = 10. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 18 2013
Two conjectures: (a) These primes have primitive root 40; (b) if a(n)*8 + 1 is prime then it has primitive root 10. - Davide Rotondo, Dec 31 2024

Examples

			29 is a member because 29 = 4*7 + 1 and 7 == 2 (mod 5) are prime.
