COMMENTS

Note that both the terms of this sequence and increments in the arithmetic progressions are primes.

This is one possible generalization of "the least prime problem in special arithmetic progressions" when n in the nk+1 form is replaced by n-th prime number.

Smallest numbers m such that largest prime-factor of Phi[m]=p(n), the n-th prime seems to be also prime number and identical to n-th of A035095. See A068211, A068212, A065966: Min[x : A068211(x)=p(n)]=A035095(n); e.g. Phi[a(7)]=Phi[103]=2.3.17 of which 17=p(7) is the largest prime-factor, arising first here.

FORMULA

According to a long-standing conjecture (see the Wagstaff reference), a(n) <= prime(n)^2+1. This is sufficient to imply that a(n) is the smallest prime such that greatest prime divisor of a(n)-1 is prime(n), the n-th prime: A006530(a(n)-1)=A000040(n). This in turn is sufficient to imply that no value occurs twice in this sequence.

EXAMPLE

a(8) = 191 because in the prime(8)k+1 = 19k+1 sequence 191 is the smallest prime.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (p = Prime[n]; r = 1; While[! PrimeQ[r], r += p]; r); Table[a[n], {n, 1, 51}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Sep 20 2011, after PARI *)

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=local(p, r); p=prime(n); r=1; while(!isprime(r), r+=p); r
