%N Primes p such that (3/4)(p + 1) - 1 is also prime.

%C Set q = (3/4)(p + 1) - 1, then (q + 1)/(p + 1) = 3/4. If this sequence is proved to be infinite, that would prove two specific cases of the Schinzel-SierpiƄski conjecture regarding rational numbers.

%C In fact this sequence is infinite under ('merely') Dickson's conjecture, as it requires infinitely many n with 3n + 2 and 4n + 3 both prime. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 01 2016

%e 3 is in the sequence because 3/4 * 4 - 1 = 2, which is also prime.

%e 7 is in the sequence because 3/4 * 8 - 1 = 5, which is also prime.

%e 11 is not in the sequence because 3/4 * 12 - 1 = 8 = 2^3.
