%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 93, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 13 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (850*10^n - 13)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 9 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 4 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 580 are certified primes.
