COMMENTS

Sequences A162488 and A162490 list the corresponding x values and primes.

See there and the main entry A094133 for more information, links and references.

FORMULA

a(n)^A162488(n)+A162488(n)^a(n) = A162490(n)

EXAMPLE

The least x such that x^y+y^x is prime for some x>y>1 is A162488(1)=3, the smallest such y is a(1)=2, yielding the prime A162490(1) = 9 + 8 = 17.

MATHEMATICA

lst = {}; Do[ If[ PrimeQ[x^y + y^x], AppendTo[lst, {x, y}]], {x, 3, 750}, {y, 2, x - 1}]; Transpose[ lst][[2]] [From Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Aug 17 2009]
