a(16) > 12000.
10^k + 1 is composite unless k is a power of 2, and it can be conjectured that it is composite for all k > 2, cf. A038371 and A185121. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 30 2019
Suppose k is odd. Then k is a term if and only if (10^k+1)/11 is prime. - Chai Wah Wu, Jul 31 2019
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 4 because 10^4 + 1 = 10001 = 73*137.
