FORMULA
a(n) = A000230(2^(n-1)). - R. J. Mathar, Jan 12 2007
a(n) = A000230(2^(n-1)) = Min{p|nextprime(p)-p = 2^n} [may need adjusting since offset has been changed].
EXAMPLE
a(2)=7 because 7 and 11 are consecutive primes with difference 2^2=4.
a(3)=89 because 89 and 97 are consecutive primes with difference 2^3=8.
MATHEMATICA
f[n_] := Block[{k = 1}, While[Prime[k + 1] != n + Prime[k], k++ ]; Prime[k]]; Do[ Print[ f[2^n]], {n, 0, 10}] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 13 2005 *)
