COMMENTS

Also known as Cunningham chains of length n of the first kind.

For each positive integer n, is there some integer with Sophie Germain degree of n?

EXAMPLE

Using f(x)=2x+1, 11 -> 23 -> 47 -> 95, which is composite; thus a(3)=11.

MATHEMATICA

NextPrim[n_] := Block[{k = n + 1}, While[ !PrimeQ[k], k++ ]; k]; f[n_] := Block[{k = 2}, While[ Length[ NestWhileList[2# + 1 &, k, PrimeQ]] != n + 1, k = NextPrim[k]]; k]; Table[f[n], {n, 1, 8}]

CROSSREFS
