COMMENTS
If p is a Sophie Germain prime (A005384), then 2p is here. - T. D. Noe, Aug 13 2008
Terms of A002322, sorted and multiple values taken just once. - Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jul 21 2009
a(2445343) = 10^7, suggesting that Luca & Pomerance's lower bound may be closer to the truth than the upper bound. The fit exponent log a(n)/log n - 1 = 0.0957... in this case. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 02 2017
