A good prime is a prime number whose square is greater than the product of any two primes at the same number of positions before and after it in the sequence of primes.
That is, good prime satisfies the inequality
for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n−1, where pk is the kth prime.
Example: the first primes are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. Since for 5 both the conditions
are fulfilled, 5 is a good prime.
There are infinitely many good primes.[1] The first good primes are:
- 5, 11, 17, 29, 37, 41, 53, 59, 67, 71, 97, 101, 127, 149, 179, 191, 223, 227, 251, 257, 269, 307, 311, 331, 347, 419, 431, 541, 557, 563, 569, 587, 593, 599, 641, 727, 733, 739, 809, 821, 853, 929, 937, 967 (sequence A028388 in the OEIS).
An alternative version takes only i = 1 in the definition. With that there are more good primes:
- 5, 11, 17, 29, 37, 41, 53, 59, 67, 71, 79, 97, 101, 107, 127, 137, 149, 157, 163, 173, 179, 191, 197, 211, 223, 227, 239, 251, 257, 263, 269, 277, 281, 307, 311, 331, 347, 367, 373, 379, 397, 419, 431, 439, 457, 461, 479, 487, 499, 521, 541, 557, 563, 569, 587, 593, 599, 607, 613, 617, 631, 641, 653, 659, 673, 701, 719, 727, 733, 739, 751, 757, 769, 787, 809, 821, 827, 853, 857, 877, 881, 907, 929, 937, 947, 967, 977, 991 (sequence A046869 in the OEIS).
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
