The set $S$ of even perfect numbers $n$ such that $n+1$ is a prime number contains $$ 6,28,33550336,137438691328 $$
Latter number found by Joerg Arndt, corresponds to $M_{19}$ (mersenne)
Question: Is $S$ reduced to these $4$ numbers.
New: Joerg Arndt checked up to exponent $110503$ that the corresponding number $n+1$ is composite. (Improved $19$ to $110503$).
Which function of $x$ migh describe well the size of the set of elements in $S$ less than $x$
divided
by the size of the set of all even perfect numbers less than $x$; mainly with big $x.$
So, I am asking for relative size not absolute size. E.g., if I were asking
for relative density of the prime numbers congruent to $3$ modulo $4$: I do not want to use
the big machinery of the prime number theorem, or Dirichlet's Theorem to deduce how many should be there. I just want (in these case) to know how to describe in terms of $x$
number of primes congruent to $3$ modulo $4$ and less than $x$
divided by
number of primes less than $x$
How many such numbers $n$ we may expect inside the known 47 perfect numbers ?
