%N Primes p such that 2*p + 1 is also prime and p + 1 is a highly composite number (definition 1).

%C An equivalent definition of this sequence: odd Sophie Germain primes that differ from a highly composite number by 1.

%C Intersection of A005384 (Sophie Germain primes) and A072828.

%C With the exception of 5, a subsequence of A002515 (Lucasian primes).

%C Except for first two terms, this is a subsequence of A054723.

%C Except for n = 2, 2*a(n) + 1 is a prime factor of A000225(a(n)) (i.e., 2*23 + 1 divides 2^23 - 1).

%C Conjecture: for n >= 5, GCD(A000032(a(n)), A000225(a(n))) = 2*a(n) + 1.

%e 23 is a term because both 23 and 47 are primes and also 24 is a highly composite number.
