COMMENTS

a(n)=1 iff n+1 is prime. For n>1 n+a(n) is odd (for n>1 a(n) is odd iff n is even). a(11) is greater than 7000. a(m) for m=12,13,14,15,16,17 and 18 are:1,54,17,2,1,1080,1. 5^7954+7954 is a 5560-digit probable prime.

a(11) is greater than 20165, so every prime of the form 11^m+m has more than 21000 digits. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 10 2004

a(11) is greater than 80000. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 07 2007

a(11) is greater than 190000. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jul 31 2008]

FORMULA

a[n_]:=(For[m=1, !PrimeQ[n^m+m], m++ ]; m)

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because 3^2+2 is prime and 3^1+1 is composite.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_]:=(For[m=1, !PrimeQ[n^m+m], m++ ]; m); Do[Print[a[n]], {n, 0, 10}]
