The probability of a given number N being a twin prime grows like 1/(log(N))^2, so for a given n, the probability that it has this property is 1/n^2, and the sum converges. Are there any n for which n*2^n-1 and n*2^n+1 are both prime? - Michael B. Porter, Feb 25 2014
We can write (k+1)*2^k - 1 = {(k+1)/2}*4^{(k+1)/2} - 1, and when k is odd, this takes the form of a generalized Woodall prime (base 4). These are listed in A086661. In other words, {2*A086661 - 1} gives all the odd terms of this sequence. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Oct 16 2019
