COMMENTS
The associated primes are A300559(a(n)) = A180119(a(n))+1 = A001286(a(n)+1)+1. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 10 2018
Looking for primes of the form p(n) = 1 + n! f(n) with a simple polynomial function f, it appears that the choice f(n) = n(n+1)/2 = A000217 is one of the most successful choices for getting a maximum of primes for n = 1..20. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 14 2018
The PFGW program has been used to certify all the terms up to a(23), using a deterministic test which exploits the factorization of a(n) - 1. - Giovanni Resta, Jun 24 2018
