Robert G. Wilson v, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..3000..

EXAMPLE

a(10) = 1597; k(10) = 3; 2*1597 + j is not prime for 3 <= j < 9, but 2*1597 + 9

= 3203 is prime. Hence k(11) = 9 and a(11) = 3203.

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = {2, 0}; a[n_] := a[n] = Block[{m = 2a[n - 1][[1]], k = a[n - 1][[2]]}, While[ !PrimeQ[m + k], k++ ]; {m + k, k}]; Table[ a[n][[1]], {n, 30}] (from Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Apr 08 2005)
