%N Least prime > n (version 2 of the "next prime" function).

%C Version 1 of the "next prime" function is A007918: smallest prime >= n.

%C Maple's nextprime() is this version 2; PARI/GP's nextprime() is version 1.

%C See A007918 for references and further information.

%C a(n) is the smallest number greater than one that is not divisible by any 1 < k <= n. Consider a multi-round election in which, in each round, voters each cast one vote for one of the remaining candidates. Then, any candidates which receive the fewest votes in that round are eliminated. This repeats until either one candidate remains, who wins the election, or no candidates remain. a(n) is the smallest nontrivial number of voters that can guarantee a winner if the election initially has n > 0 candidates. This is a consequence of the first fact. - _Thomas Anton_, Mar 30 2020

%C Conjecture: if n > 3, then a(n) < n^(n^(1/n)). - _Thomas Ordowski_, Feb 23 2023

%F a(n) = A007918(n+1).

%F a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=1..2n} (floor((n!^k)/k!) - floor(((n!^k)-1)/k!)). - _Anthony Browne_, May 11 2016
