COMMENTS
a(0) = 1, a(3) = 11, a(5) = 35, a(11) = 101 and a(33) = 311 are the only odd elements <= 10^6 and probably the only ones. If so, then for n >= 34, a(n) is the smallest even k >= a(n-1)+4 for which none of k-1, k-11, k-35, k-101 or k-311 is prime. - David W. Wilson, Dec 14 2006

EXAMPLE
26 is the smallest number > 11 which differs from 1, 2, 10, 11 by a nonprime (25, 24, 16, 15), so 26 is the next term after 11.
