%N Smallest prime ending (through <*2+1> or/and <*2-1>) a complete Cunningham chain (of the first or the second kind) of length n.
%C The word "complete" indicates each chain is exactly n primes long for the operator in function (i.e. the chain cannot be a subchain of another one); but the first and/or last term may be involved in a chain of the other kind (i.e. the chain may be connected to another one).
%H Chris Caldwell's Prime Glossary, <a href="https://t5k.org/glossary/page.php?sort=CunninghamChain">Cunningham chains</a>.
%e a(1)=11 because 2, 3, 5 and 7 are not ending chains; or are part of chains longer than one prime; 11, although is part of a five primes <2p+1> chain, is isolated through <2p-1>.
%e a(2)=7 because 7 ends through <2p+1> the first two primes chain: 3->7 (even if both primes are also part of <2p-1> chains).
