Same as A053726 except for the first term of this sequence.

Numbers k such that A064216(k) is not prime. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 17 2015

Union of 1 and terms of the form (u+1)*(v+1) + u*v with 1 <= u <= v. - Ralf Steiner, Nov 17 2021

Vincenzo Librandi (first 1000 terms) & Antti Karttunen, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10001

Formula

a(n) = A047845(n-1) + 1.

For n > 1, a(n) = A053726(n-1) = n + A008508(n-1). - Antti Karttunen, Apr 17 2015

a(n) = (A014076(n)+1)/2. - Robert Israel, Apr 17 2015

Example

a(1) = 1 because 2*1-1=1, not prime.
a(2) = 5 because 2*5-1=9, not prime (2, 3 and 4 give 3, 5 and 7 which are primes).
From Vincenzo Librandi, Jan 15 2013: (Start)
As a triangular array (apart from term 1):
   5;
   8,  13;
  11,  18,  25;
  14,  23,  32,  41;
  17,  28,  39,  50,  61;
  20,  33,  46,  59,  72,  85;
  23,  38,  53,  68,  83,  98, 113;
  26,  43,  60,  77,  94, 111, 128, 145;
  29,  48,  67,  86, 105, 124, 143, 162, 181;
  32,  53,  74,  95, 116, 137, 158, 179, 200, 221; etc.
which is obtained by (2*h*k + k + h + 1) with h >= k >= 1. (End)
The above array, which contains the same terms as A053726 but in different order and with some duplicates, has its own entry A144650. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 17 2015
