COMMENTS

Trivially a(3n) = 0. Conjecture: no other term is zero.

Either a(13)=0 or a(13)>36. This sequence contains no positive multiples of 3. If a(m) is of the form bbb...b (repeated k times) then a(km) <= b. - Sam Alexander (amnalexander(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 20 2003

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 4 as 444443 is a prime. but 111113,222223,333333 are not.
