COMMENTS
Theorem: if n-1 is composite, then A090086(n) < n.
The inverse theorem is false iff n = p+1 for primes p in this sequence.
Conjecture: the sequence contains all sufficiently large primes. Probably all primes except 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 37, 41, 47, 53, 59, 71, 83, 89, 101, 109, 139, 149, 157, 179, 199, 307, 461, and 571.
EXAMPLE
The prime 31 is a term, since A090086(31+1) = 25 < 31.
