COMMENTS
A prime p is called secluded if it is not member of a chain of primes. A sequence of consecutive primes prime(k), ..., prime(k+r), r >= 1, is called a chain of primes if i*prime(i) + (i+1)*prime(i+1)* is prime for i from k to k+r-1.

EXAMPLE
16*prime(16) + 17*prime(17) = 16*53 + 17*69 = 1851 = 3*617 is not prime; 17*prime(17) + 18*prime(18) = 17*59 + 18*61 = 2101 = 11+191 is not prime. Hence prime(17) = 59 is secluded.
PROG
(Magma) [ p: n in [1..113] | (n eq 1 or not IsPrime((n-1)*NthPrime(n-1)+k)) and not IsPrime(k+(n+1)*NthPrime(n+1)) where k is n*p where p is NthPrime(n) ];
