Old name was: Very generalized repunit prime numbers.
These numbers are prime numbers that can be written in the form of (11...1) base m, with 3 or more ones and |m| > 1.
This sequence is the prime numbers picked from A206943.
Generalized repunit prime numbers are defined in the Caldwell link, as the form of (111...1) base m with numbers of ones >= (1/5)m.
This sequence includes all (111...1) base m primes with m < 1 and number of ones > 2.
EXAMPLE
3 = (111) base -2, so a(1) = 3;
7 = (111) base 2, so a(2) = 7;
11 = (11111) base -2, so a(3) = 11.
31 = (2^5-1)/(2-1) = (5^3-1)/(5-1) = (6^3+1)/(6+1),
43 = (2^7+1)/(2+1) = (7^3+1)/(7+1) = (6^3-1)/(6-1),
8191 = (2^13-1)/(2-1) = (90^3-1)/(90-1) = (91^3+1)/(91+1).
