Comments

For n > 1, A037055 is conjectured to be identical to A084673. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 04 2003

a(n) = A002275(n) for n in A004023. For all other n < 900, a(n) has n+1 digits. - Robert Israel, Feb 21 2016

Formula

a(n) = the smallest prime in { R-10^n, R-10^(n-1), ..., R-10; R+a*10^b, a=1, ..., 8, b=0, 1, 2, ..., n }, where R = (10^(n+1)-1)/9 is the (n+1)-digit repunit. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 25 2016

Maple
