This is the analog of A096594, the numbers n for which the concatenation of 10^n and 10^n - 1 is prime, with the numbers concatenated here being 10^n + 2 and 10^n + 1. For example, 3 is in this sequence because 10021001 is prime, and 3 is in A096594 since 1000999 is prime.
All the primes arising from terms up to a(14) have been certified with pfgw. a(15) > 32400. - Giovanni Resta, Feb 18 2013
EXAMPLE
1 is not in the sequence since 10^(2*1+1) + 21*10^1 + 1 = 1000 + 210 + 1 = 1211 is composite.
2 is in the sequence since 10^(2*2+1) + 21*10^2 + 1 = 100000 + 2100 + 1 = 102101 is prime.
