%N a(n) is the least odd k such that k*2^n + 1 is prime.

%C There are no SierpiƄski numbers in the sequence. See A076336. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Aug 13 2017

%C Conjecture: for n > 0, a(n) = k < 2^n, so k*2^n + 1 is a Proth prime A080076. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 13 2019

%F a(n) = Min{k: 1+2^n*k is prime and k is odd}.

%F a(n) << 19^n by Xylouris's improvement to Linnik's theorem. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 10 2013

%F Conjecture: a(n) = O(n*log(n)). - _Thomas Ordowski_, Oct 16 2014

%e For n = 10, the first primes in the 1024k + 1 arithmetic progression occur at k = 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, ...; 13 is the first odd number, so a(10)=13, while A035050(10)=12. The corresponding primes are 12289 and 13313.

%e For n = 79, the first primes in the (2^79)k + 1 = 604462909807314587353088k + 1 progression occur at k = 36, 44, 104, 249, 296, 299, so a(79)=249, the first odd number, while A035050(79)=36. The two primes arising are 21760664753063325144711169 and 150511264542021332250918913, respectively.
