Rational primes that decompose in the field Q(sqrt(-1)). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 25 2017
These are the prime terms of A009003.
-1 is a quadratic residue mod a prime p if and only if p is in this sequence.
Sin(a(n)*Pi/2) = 1 with Pi = 3.1415..., see A070750. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 04 2002
If at least one of the odd primes p, q belongs to the sequence, then either both or neither of the congruences x^2 = p (mod q), x^2 = q (mod p) are solvable, according to Gauss reciprocity law. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 17 2003
Odd primes such that binomial(p-1, (p-1)/2) == 1 (mod p). - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 07 2004
Primes that are the hypotenuse of a right triangle with integer sides. The Pythagorean triple is {A002365(n), A002366(n), a(n)}.
Also, primes of the form a^k + b^k, k > 1. - Amarnath Murthy, Nov 17 2003
The square of a(n) is the average of two other squares. This fact gives rise to a class of monic polynomials x^2 + bx + c with b = a(n) that will factor over the integers regardless of the sign of c. See A114200. - Owen Mertens (owenmertens(AT)missouristate.edu), Nov 16 2005
Also such primes p that the last digit is always 1 for the Nexus numbers of form n^p - (n-1)^p. - Alexander Adamchuk, Aug 10 2006
The set of Pythagorean primes is a proper subset of the set of positive fundamental discriminants (A003658). - Paul Muljadi, Mar 28 2008
A079260(a(n)) = 1; complement of A137409. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 11 2008
From Artur Jasinski, Dec 10 2008: (Start)
If we take 4 numbers: 1, A002314(n), A152676(n), A152680(n) then multiplication table modulo a(n) is isomorphic to the Latin square:
1 2 3 4
2 4 1 3
3 1 4 2
4 3 2 1
and isomorphic to the multiplication table of {1, i, -i, -1} where i is sqrt(-1), A152680(n) is isomorphic to -1, A002314(n) with i or -i and A152676(n) vice versa -i or i. 1, A002314(n), A152676(n), A152680(n) are subfield of Galois field [a(n)]. (End)
Primes p such that the arithmetic mean of divisors of p^3 is an integer. There are 2 sequences of such primes: this one and A002145. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Oct 20 2009
Equivalently, the primes p for which the smallest extension of F_p containing the square roots of unity (necessarily F_p) contains the 4th roots of unity. In this respect, the n = 2 case of a family of sequences: see n=3 (A129805) and n=5 (A172469). - Katherine E. Stange, Feb 03 2010
Subsequence of A007969. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 18 2011
A151763(a(n)) = 1.
k^k - 1 is divisible by 4*k + 1 if 4*k + 1 is a prime (see Dickson reference). - Gary Detlefs, May 22 2013
Not only are the squares of these primes the sum of two nonzero squares, but the primes themselves are also. 2 is the only prime equal to the sum of two nonzero squares and whose square is not. 2 is therefore not a Pythagorean prime. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 10 2013
The statement that these primes are the sum of two nonzero squares follows from Fermat's theorem on the sum of two squares. - Jerzy R Borysowicz, Jan 02 2019
The decompositions of the prime and its square into two nonzero squares are unique. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 11 2013. See the Dickson reference, Vol. II, (B) on p. 227. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2015
p^e for p prime of the form 4*k+1 and e >= 1 is the sum of 2 nonzero squares. - Jon Perry, Nov 23 2014
Primes p such that the area of the isosceles triangle of sides (p, p, q) for some integer q is an integer. - Michel Lagneau, Dec 31 2014
This is the set of all primes that are the average of two squares. - Richard R. Forberg, Mar 01 2015
Numbers k such that ((k-3)!!)^2 == -1 (mod k). - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 28 2016
This is a subsequence of primes of A004431 and also of A016813. - Bernard Schott, Apr 30 2022
In addition to the comment from Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 10 2013: All powers as well as the products of any of these primes are the sum of two nonzero squares. They are terms of A001481, which is closed under multiplication. - Klaus Purath, Nov 19 2023

Examples

			The following table shows the relationship between several closely related sequences:
Here p = A002144 = primes == 1 (mod 4), p = a^2+b^2 with a < b;
a = A002331, b = A002330, t_1 = ab/2 = A070151;
p^2 = c^2 + d^2 with c < d; c = A002366, d = A002365,
t_2 = 2ab = A145046, t_3 = b^2 - a^2 = A070079,
with {c,d} = {t_2, t_3}, t_4 = cd/2 = ab(b^2-a^2).
  ---------------------------------
   p  a  b  t_1  c   d t_2 t_3  t_4
  ---------------------------------
   5  1  2   1   3   4   4   3    6
  13  2  3   3   5  12  12   5   30
  17  1  4   2   8  15   8  15   60
  29  2  5   5  20  21  20  21  210
  37  1  6   3  12  35  12  35  210
  41  4  5  10   9  40  40   9  180
  53  2  7   7  28  45  28  45  630
  ...
a(7) = 53 = A002972(7)^2 + (2*A002973(7))^2 = 7^2 + (2*1)^2 = 49 + 4, and this is the only way. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 13 2015

This is also the result of applying the transformation on generating functions A -> 1/((1 - x)*(1 - x*A)) to the g.f. for the Catalan numbers.
p divides a(p) - 3 for prime p = 3 and p = {7, 13, 19, 31, 37, 43, ...} = A002476 (Primes of the form 6*n + 1). p^2 divides a(p^2) - 3 for prime p > 3. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jul 11 2006
Prime p divides a(p) for p = {2, 3, 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 41, 47, 53, 59, 71, 83, 89, 101, ...} = A045309 (Primes congruent to {0, 2} mod 3); and A045309 (Primes p such that x^3 = n (integer) has only one solution mod p). Nonprime numbers n such that n divides a(n) are listed in A128287 = {1, 8, 133, ...}. - Alexander Adamchuk, Feb 23 2007
For p prime >= 5, a(p-1) = 1 or -2 (mod p) according as p = 1 or -1 (mod 3) (see Pan and Sun link). For example, with p=5, a(p-1) = 23 = -2 (mod p). - David Callan, Nov 29 2007

Number of paths starting from the root in all ordered trees with n+1 edges (a path is a nonempty tree with no vertices of outdegree greater than 1). Example: a(2)=8 because the five trees with three edges have altogether 1+0+2+2+3=8 paths hanging from the roots. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 20 2002
a(n) is the sum of the mean maximal pyramid size over all Dyck (n+1)-paths. Also, a(n) = sum of the mean maximal sawtooth size over all Dyck (n+1)-paths. A pyramid (resp. sawtooth) in a Dyck path is a subpath of the form U^k D^k (resp. (UD)^k) with k>=1 and k is its size. For example, the maximal pyramids in the Dyck path uUUDD|UD|UDdUUDD are indicated by uppercase letters (and separated by a vertical bar). Their sizes are 2,1,1,2 left to right and the mean maximal pyramid size of the path is 6/4 = 3/2. Also, the mean maximal sawtooth size of this path is (1+2+1)/3 = 4/3. - David Callan, Jun 07 2006

Erdős & Sárközy conjecture that a set of n positive integers with property P must have some element at least a(n-1) = 3n - 2. Property P states that, for x, y, and z in the set and z < x, y, z does not divide x+y. An example of such a set is {2n-1, 2n, ..., 3n-2}. Bedert proves this for large enough n.

A (n+1,n) pebbling move involves removing n + 1 pebbles from a vertex in a simple graph and placing n pebbles on an adjacent vertex. A two-player impartial (n+1,n) pebbling game involves two players alternating (n+1,n) pebbling moves. The first player unable to make a move loses.

Also primes p such that p^q - 2 is not prime where q is an odd prime. These numbers cannot be prime because the binomial p^q = (6k-1)^q expands to 6h-1 some h. Then p^q-2 = 6h-1-2 is divisible by 3 thus not prime. - Cino Hilliard, Nov 12 2008

For all elements x of the sequence, 12*x^2 - 12 is a square. Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 2 + sqrt(3) = (4 + sqrt(12))/2 which preserves the kinship with the equation "12*x^2 - 12 is a square" where the initial "12" ends up appearing as a square root. - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 10 2002

A triangle with row sums generating the sequence can be constructed by taking the production matrix M. Take powers of M, extracting the top rows.
M =
1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, ...

2, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, ...
2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, ...
...
The triangle generated from M is:
1,
1, 1,
3, 1, 3,
11, 3, 3, 9,
41, 11, 9, 9, 27,
...
The left border is A001835 and row sums are (1, 2, 7, 26, 97, ...). (End)
Even-indexed terms are odd while odd-indexed terms are even. Indeed, a(2*n) = 2*(a(n))^2 - 1 and a(2*n+1) = 2*a(n)*a(n+1) - 2. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Oct 11 2016
For each n, a(0) divides a(n), a(1) divides a(2n+1), a(2) divides a(4*n+2), a(3) divides a(6*n+3), a(4) divides a(8*n+4), a(5) divides a(10n+5), and so on. Thus, a(k) divides a((2*n+1)*k) for each k > 0 and n >= 0. A proof of this can be found in Bhargava-Kedlaya-Ng's first solution to Problem A2 of the 76th Putnam Mathematical Competition. Links to the exam and its solutions can be found below. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Oct 12 2016
From Timothy L. Tiffin, Oct 21 2016: (Start)
If any term a(n) is a prime number, then its index n will be a power of 2. This is a consequence of the results given in the previous two comments. See A277434 for those prime terms.
a(2n) == 1 (mod 6) and a(2*n+1) == 2 (mod 6). Consequently, each odd prime factor of a(n) will be congruent to 1 modulo 6 and, thus, found in A002476.
a(n) == 1 (mod 10) if n == 0 (mod 6), a(n) == 2 (mod 10) if n == {1,-1} (mod 6), a(n) == 7 (mod 10) if n == {2,-2} (mod 6), and a(n) == 6 (mod 10) if n == 3 (mod 6). So, the rightmost digits of a(n) form a repeating cycle of length 6: 1, 2, 7, 6, 7, 2. (End)
a(A298211(n)) = A002350(3*n^2). - A.H.M. Smeets, Jan 25 2018

Positive numbers k such that 3*(k-1)*(k+1) is a square. - Davide Rotondo, Oct 25 2020
a(n)*a(n+1)-1 = a(2*n+1)/2 = A001570(n) divides both a(n)^6+1 and a(n+1)^6+1. In other words, for k = a(2*n+1)/2, (k+1)^6 has divisors congruent to -1 modulo k (cf. A350916). - Max Alekseyev, Jan 23 2022

Examples

			2^6 - 1 = 63 does not divide a(2^4) = 708158977, therefore 63 is composite. 2^5 - 1 = 31 divides a(2^3) = 18817, therefore 31 is prime.

Formula

G.f.: (1 - 2*x)/(1 - 4*x + x^2). - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation
E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*cosh(sqrt(3)*x).
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - a(n-2) = a(-n).
a(n) = (S(n, 4) - S(n-2, 4))/2 = T(n, 2), with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), S(-1, x) := 0, S(-2, x) := -1. U, resp. T, are Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. S(n-1, 4) = A001353(n), n >= 0. See A049310 and A053120.
a(n) = A001353(n+2) - 2*A001353(n+1).
a(n) = sqrt(1 + 3*A001353(n)) (cf. Richardson comment, Oct 10 2002).
a(n) = 2^(-n)*Sum_{k>=0} binomial(2*n, 2*k)*3^k = 2^(-n)*Sum_{k>=0} A086645(n, k)*3^k. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 01 2004
a(n) = ((2 + sqrt(3))^n + (2 - sqrt(3))^n)/2; a(n) = ceiling((1/2)*(2 + sqrt(3))^(n)).
a(n) = cosh(n * log(2 + sqrt(3))).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*2^(n-2*k)*3^k. - Paul Barry, May 08 2003
a(n+2) = 2*a(n+1) + 3*Sum_{k>=0} a(n-k)*2^k. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 03 2004
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 3*A001353(n-1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 21 2006
a(n) = left term of M^n * [1,0] where M = the 2 X 2 matrix [2,3; 1,2]. Right term = A001353(n). Example: a(4) = 97 since M^4 * [1,0] = [A001075(4), A001353(4)] = [97, 56]. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 27 2006
Binomial transform of A026150: (1, 1, 4, 10, 28, 76, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 23 2007
First differences of A001571. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 03 2009
Sequence satisfies -3 = f(a(n), a(n+1)) where f(u, v) = u^2 + v^2 - 4*u*v. - Michael Somos, Sep 19 2008
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A201730(n,k)*2^k. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 06 2011
G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(3*k - 4)/(x*(3*k - 1) - 2/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 28 2013
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A238731(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 05 2014
a(n) = (-1)^n*(A125905(n) + 2*A125905(n-1)), n > 0. - Franck Maminirina Ramaharo, Nov 11 2018
a(n) = (tan(Pi/12)^n + tan(5*Pi/12)^n)/2. - Greg Dresden, Oct 01 2020
From Peter Bala, Aug 17 2022: (Start)
a(n) = (1/2)^n * [x^n] ( 4*x + sqrt(1 + 12*x^2) )^n.
The g.f. A(x) satisfies A(2*x) = 1 + x*B'(x)/B(x), where B(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 8*x + 4*x^2) is the g.f. of A069835.
The Gauss congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^k) hold for all primes p >= 3 and positive integers n and k.
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) - (3/2)/a(n)) = 1.
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n) + (1/2)/a(n)) = 1/3.
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n)^2 - 3/2) = 1 - 1/sqrt(3). (End)
a(n) = binomial(2*n, n) + 2*Sum_{k > 0} binomial(2*n, n+2*k)*cos(k*Pi/3). - Greg Dresden, Oct 11 2022
2*a(n) + 2^n = 3*Sum_{k=-n..n} (-1)^k*binomial(2*n, n+6*k). - Greg Dresden, Feb 07 2023

Also, odd primes p such that -3 is a square mod p. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 25 2017
Equivalently, primes of the form p = (x^3 - y^3)/(x - y). If x=y+1 we get the cuban primes A002407, which is therefore a subsequence.
These are not to be confused with the Eisenstein primes, which are the primes in the ring of integers Z[w], where w = (-1+sqrt(-3))/2. The present sequence gives the rational primes which are also Eisenstein primes. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 06 2008
Also primes of the form x^2+3y^2 and, except for 3, x^2+xy+7y^2. See A140633. - T. D. Noe, May 19 2008
Conjecture: this sequence is Union(A002383,A162471). - Daniel Tisdale, Jul 04 2009
Primes p such that antiharmonic mean B(p) of the numbers k < p such that gcd(k, p) = 1 is not integer, where B(p) = A053818(p) / A023896(p) = A175505(p) / A175506(p) = (2p - 1) / 3. Primes p such that A175506(p) > 1. Subsequence of A179872. Union a(n) + A179891 = A179872. Example: a(6) = 37 because B(37) = A053818(37) / A023896(37) = A175505(37) / A175506(37) = 16206 / 666 = 73 / 3 (not integer). Cf. A179871, A179872, A179873, A179874, A179875, A179876, A179877, A179878, A179879, A179880, A179882, A179883, A179884, A179885, A179886, A179887, A179890, A179891, A003627, A034934. - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 01 2010
Subsequence of Loeschian numbers, cf. A003136 and A024614; A088534(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 30 2011
Primes such that there exist a unique x, y, with 1 < x <= y < p, x + y == 1 (mod p) and x * y == 1 (mod p). - Jon Perry, Feb 02 2014
The prime factors of A002061. - Richard R. Forberg, Dec 10 2014
This sequence gives the primes p which solve s^2 == -3 (mod 4*p) (see Buell, Proposition 4.1., p. 50, for Delta = -3). p = 2 is not a solution. x^2 == -3 (mod 4) has solutions for all odd x. x^2 == -3 (mod p) has for odd primes p, not 3, the solutions of Legendre(-3|p) = +1 which are p == {1, 7} (mod 12). For p = 3 the representative solution is x = 0. Hence the solution of s^2 == -3 (mod 4*p) are the odd primes p = 3 and p == {1, 7} (mod 12) (or the primes p = 0, 1 (mod 3)). - Wolfdieter Lang, May 22 2021
