%N Lesser of two consecutive primes p,q such that q^2 - p^2 + 1 = the square of a prime.

%C One could generate a larger sequence using any three primes p,q,r such that p^2 + 1 = q^2 + r^2. One could consider these "almost prime Pythagorean triangles."

%H Charles R Greathouse IV, <a href="/A157750/b157750.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e For the consecutive pair (19,23), 23^2 - 19^2 + 1 = 169 = 13^2; thus 19 is in the sequence.

%p a := proc (n) if isprime(sqrt(nextprime(ithprime(n))^2-ithprime(n)^2+1)) = true then ithprime(n) else end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 2000); # _Emeric Deutsch_, Mar 07 2009
