COMMENTS

In contrast to A123340 which allows m=0, a(0) does not exist for this sequence.

FORMULA

a(n) = min { m>0 | 2^n+3^m is prime } = A123340(n) whenever the latter is > 1.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=1 is the least m>0 such that 2^1+3^m (=5) is prime.

a(2)=1 is the least m>0 such that 2^2+3^m (=7) is prime.

a(5)=2 is the least m>0 such that 2^5+3^m (=41) is prime.

PROG

(PARI) A159266(n, m=0)=until( is/*pseudo*/prime(2^n+3^m++), ); m) /* 2nd optional arg allows us to resume search after a given m and thus (when set to previous result) the list of all m yielding primes */

CROSSREFS

Cf. A123340 (allows for m=0), A123359 (roles of 2 and 3 exchanged).
