COMMENTS

The a(10) to a(11) gap represents the largest relative gap seen so far in searching Repunits with bases between -12 and 12. On average, there should have been 4 more primes added to this sequence by a(11), instead of just 1. [From Paul Bourdelais (pbourdelais(AT)radiantblue.com), Feb 11 2010]
