COMMENTS

10^d*(n+k) + n has to be a prime for the smallest d-digit natural n, (k = 1, 2, ...)

n of course has necessarily end digit 1, 3, 7 or 9

Sequence is infinite because of Dirichlet's prime number theorem: (10^d+1) * n + c with constant c = 10^d * k

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..98.

EXAMPLE

n=0: 11 = prime(5) = (1+0)//1 is omitted because 0 is no natural

43 = prime(14) = (3+1)//3, n(1) = 3

31 = prime(11) = (1+2)//1, n(2) = 1

41 = prime(13) = (1+3)//1, n(3) = 1

3413 = prime(480) = (13+21)//13, n(21) = 13

11527 = prime(1390) = (27+88)//27, n(88) = 27

Note cases where consecutive values of k give consecutive primes:

k=17: 181 = prime(42) = (1+17)//1, k=18: 191 = prime(43) = (1+18)//1

k=41: 421 = prime(82) = (1+41)//1, k=42: 431 = prime(83) = (1+42)//1

... are there infinitely many of such?

n(11) = 19, 3019 is a resulting "candidate" for k = 301 - 9 = 292, but n(292) = 3 gives 2953 = prime(425)

First twice resulting prime is 5623 = prime(739) = (23+33)//23 = 5623 = (559+3)//3
