COMMENTS

Prime(n) is all zeros followed by prime(n). This is all fives followed by prime(n). Conjecture: No term is zero for n > 3.

The next sequence in this progression, "Smallest prime of the form: all sixes followed by prime(n), a(n)> prime(n)", begins 0, 0, 0, 67, then (5) = 2*(10^5039 - 1)/3 - 55, a number that consists of 5037 sixes followed by 2 ones. This does not fit into the constraints of the OEIS. N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Nov 20 2005, based on information from Hans Havermann.

The large prime here is only a probable prime. The next term, if it exists, is more than 10^1000, followed by 541 55555543 547 55555553 55555559 ... - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 06 2006

The large number *is* prime, quickly certified by APRCL test in PARI: isprime(555...513,2) -> 1 [From Hagen von Eitzen (math(AT)von-eitzen.de), Jun 17 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 55511, as 511, 5511 are composite, prime(5) = 11.
