%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 63, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 23 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (590*10^n - 23)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 6 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 5 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 616 are certified primes.
