Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) = 2*q(n)-1 where q(n) is the sequence of records positions of A179686
%C The record positions are q(n) = 2, 3, 4, 10, 14, 19, 24, 27, 34,...
%C Sequences A179382, A179383, A179480, A179481, A179686 and this sequence show that their terms depend on prime power factorization of 2*n-1. Nevertheless, this question yet is waiting its research. Most likely that almost all terms of this sequence are primes (27, 95, 841,... are not).
