COMMENTS

For a Pell number to be prime, the index must be prime. The indices greater than 523 yield probable primes. No others less than 100000. - T. D. Noe, Sep 13 2004

n divides m if and only if A000129(n) divides A000129(m). This is the reason of the fact that this sequence is a subsequence of A000040. For complement of this sequence see A270387. - Altug Alkan, Apr 29 2016

EXAMPLE

P(11)=5741, which is prime.

MAPLE

Pell:= gfun:-rectoproc( {a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2)}, a(n), remember):

select(t -> isprime(t) and isprime(Pell(t)), [2, seq(2*i+1, i=1..2000)]); # Robert Israel, Aug 28 2015
