A186263 a(n) = 10*b_10(n) + 9, where b_10 lists the indices of zeros of the sequence A261310: u(n) = abs(u(n-1) - gcd(u(n-1), 10n-1)), u(1) = 1. 19

%N a(n) = 10*b_10(n) + 9, where b_10 lists the indices of zeros of the sequence A261310: u(n) = abs(u(n-1) - gcd(u(n-1), 10n-1)), u(1) = 1.

%C For any fixed integer m>=1 define u(1)=1 and u(n)=abs(u(n-1)-gcd(u(n-1),m*n-1)). Then (b_m(k))_{k>=1} is the sequence of integers such that u(b_m(k))=0 and we conjecture that for k large enough m*b_m(k)+m-1 is a prime number. Here for m=10 it appears a(n) is prime for n>=1.

%C See A261310 for the sequence u relevant here (m=10). - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 14 2015

%F We conjecture that a(n) is asymptotic to c*11^n with c>0.

%F See the wiki link for a sketch of a proof of this conjecture. We find c = 2.2163823215... - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 22 2015
