%C a(13) > 10^11. - _Donovan Johnson_, Dec 02 2009

%e Prime 3 generates the {3,7,19,67} exponential prime-chain of length 4 if the start is also counted.

%e The smallest "exponential 11-chain" starts with 13243063 as follows: 13243063, 13243067, 13243079, 13243127, 13243319, 13244087, 13247159, 13259447, 13308599, 13505207, 14291639.

%o (PARI) okchain(n, p)=for (k=1, n, if (! isprime(p + 4^k), return (0));); return (1);
