A249801
Take smallest prime q such that n*(q+1)+1 is prime (A249800), that is, the smallest prime q so that n = (p-1)/(q+1) with p prime; sequence gives values of p; or -1 if A249800(n) = -1.

EXAMPLE
For n=1 the minimum primes p and q are 5 and 3: (p-1)/(q+1) = (5-1)/(3+1) = 4/4 = 1. Therefore a(1)=5.
For n=2 the minimum primes p and q are 7 and 2: (p-1)/(q+1) = (7-1)/(2+1) = 6/3 = 2. Therefore a(2)=7. Etc.
MAPLE

for n from 1 to q do for k from 1 to q do

break; fi; od; od; end: P(10^5);
