%N Least increasing sequence of primes equal to determinants of sequence A119838 starting (1,1,1) of continuous blocks of 4 numbers.

%C The associated sequence of elements of the determinants is A119838 = 1, 1, 1, 3, 8, 31, 87, 340, 959, 3751, 10581, 41396.

%F a(0) = a(1) = a(2) = 0 (or any arbitrary nonprime < 2); for n>2: a(n) = min{prime p = b(n)*b(n-3) - b(n-1)*b(n-2) where b(n) = A119838(n)}.

%F Prime p = determinant [b(n-3),b(n-2),b(n-1),b(n)] = b(n)*b(n-3) - b(n-1)*b(n-2) is a prime greater than any previous prime in this sequence, where b(n) = A119838(n).

%e a(6) = 13 because of the prime determinant formed from a(3,4,5,6) = (3,8,31,87).

%e Namely 13 = | 3 8|

%e |31 87|.

%Y Cf. A000040, A119838.
