Conjecture: there are infinite numbers of such kind of primes.

a(12) > 10000. [From Donovan Johnson (donovan.johnson(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 31 2010]

EXAMPLE

n=2, 2*(2*2)^2-1 = 31 is a prime number; n=3, 3^(2*3)^2-1 = 107 is a prime number; and so on

MATHEMATICA

Do[cp=n*(2*n)^n-1; If[PrimeQ[cp], Print[n]], {n, 1, 2000}] This generate the listed first 10 elements.
