COMMENTS

For any integer n there are infinite number of primes of the form n*a+q. Here we consider the case q = 1 and the smallest a > n > 0. In this case for each n we have unique a (even for n=0 we have a(0)=1). But value of the a may be the same for different n, e.g. a(4)=a(6)=7, a(10)=a(12)=13, a(11)=a(17)=18 etc.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2 because 1*2+1=3 is the smallest prime of the form 1*a+1 with a>1, a(4)=7 because 4*7+1=29 is the smallest prime of the form 4*a+1 with a>4, a(100)=103 because 100*103 is the smallest prime of the form 100*a with a>100.
