(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A083809 Let f(n) be the smallest prime == 1 mod n (cf. A034694). Sequence gives triangle T(j,k) = f^k(j) for 1 <= k <= j, read by rows. 3
2, 3, 7, 7, 29, 59, 5, 11, 23, 47, 11, 23, 47, 283, 1699, 7, 29, 59, 709, 2837, 22697, 29, 59, 709, 2837, 22697, 590123, 1180247, 17, 103, 619, 2477, 34679, 416149, 7490683, 29962733, 19, 191, 383, 4597, 27583, 330997, 9267917, 74143337, 1038006719 (list; table; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

It has been proved in the reference that for every prime p there exists a prime of the form k*p+1. Conjecture: sequence is infinite, i.e. for every n there exists a prime of the form n*k+1 (cf. A034693).

The first column is given by A034694; the sequence of the last terms in the rows (main diagonal) is A083810.
