FORMULA
a(n) = 3^(2^n)+k where k = Min{k=>0 such that 3^(2^n)+k is prime} = 3^(2^n)+k where k = Min{k=>0 such that A000244(A000079(n))+k is in A000040}.
a(n) = 3^(2^n) + A157979(n).
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 3 because 3^2^0 + 0 = 3^1 + 0 = 3 is prime. a(1) = 11 because 3^2^1 + 2 = 3^2 + 0 = 11 is prime. a(2) = 83 because 3^4 + 2 = 83 is prime. a(3) = 6563 because 3^8 + 2 = 6563 is prime. a(4) = 43046747 because 3^16 + 26 = 43046747 is prime. a(5) = 1853020188851911 because 3^32 + 70 = 1853020188851911 is prime. a(6) = 3433683820292512484657849089373 because 3^64 + 92 = 3433683820292512484657849089373 is prime.
