Number of Newman-Shanks-Williams

In Mathematical, a prime number of Newman-Shanks-Williams (often shortened prime number NSW ) east is a Prime number particular which is defined in the following way:

A prime number p is a prime number NSW if it can be written in the form:

S_ {2m+1} = \ frac {(1+ \ sqrt {2}) ^ {2m+1} + (1 \ sqrt {2}) ^ {2m+1}} {2}

Prime numbers NSW were described in first by Mr. Newman, D. Shanks and H.C. Williams in 1981 during the study of the finished groups of a square nature.

First small numbers first NSW are 7, 41, 239, 9369319,63018038201,… electronic Encyclopédie of the whole continuations (id=A088165), corresponding to indices 3,5,7,19,29,… electronic Encyclopédie of the whole continuations (id=A005850).

The continuation S \, allocated with the formula can be described by the relation of following recurrence:

S_0=1 \,
S_1=1 \,
S_n=2S_ {n-1} +S_ {N2} \ qquad \ mbox {for all} N \ geq2 \, .
The first minor terms of the continuation are 1,1,3,7,17,41,99,… (continuation on A001333). These numbers also appear in the continued Fraction convergent of \ sqrt 2 \, .
