a(1) = 2, define f(k) = 2k+1, then a(n+1) = least prime fff...(a(n)). After 383 the next terem is 6143. We have f(383) = 767 (composite), f(767) = 1535 (composite), f(1565)=3071(composite), f(3071) = 6143 (prime), hence the next term is 6143= ffff(383). - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 13 2005
If n is in the sequence and m=(n+1)/3 then m is a solution of the equation, sigma(x+sigma(x))=3x (*). Is it true that there is no other solution of (*)? - Farideh Firoozbakht, Dec 05 2005
