Also called geometrically strong primes. - Amarnath Murthy, Mar 08 2002
The idea can be extended by defining a geometrically strong prime of order k to be a prime that is greater than the geometric mean of r neighbors on both sides for all r = 1 to k but not for r = k+1. Similar generalizations can be applied to the sequence A051634. - Amarnath Murthy, Mar 08 2002
It appears that a(n) ~ 2*prime(n). - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 25 2012
Conjecture: primes p(n) such that 2*p(n) >= p(n-1) + p(n+1). - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 25 2012
Probably {3,7,23} U {good primes} = {primes p(n) > 2/(1/p(n-1) + 1/p(n+1))}. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 27 2012
