COMMENTS

Numbers n such that (890*10^n + 1)/9 is prime.

Numbers n such that the number 9 8(n times) 9 is prime.

Numbers corresponding to terms <= 983 are certified primes. For number corresponding to 1225 see P. De Geest, PDP Reference Table.

a(n) = A082719(n-1) - 2.

EXAMPLE

9888889 is prime, hence 5 is a term.

PROG

(PARI) a=99; for(n=0, 1500, if(isprime(a), print1(n, ", ")); a=10*a-1)

(PARI) for(n=0, 1500, if(isprime((890*10^n+1)/9), print1(n, ", ")))
