Comments

Minimal p sequence such that primorial*p + 1 is also prime.

While p is in A005384, the Q(n)p + 1 primes are in A005385(primorial-safe primes).

Formula

Analogous to or subset of A051686, where the even numbers are 2, 6, ..., A002110(n), ...

Example

a(25) is 47 because Q(25)*47 + 1 is also prime and minimal with this property: Q(25)*47 + 1 = 47*2305567963945518424753102147331756070 + 1 = 108361694305439365963395800924592535291 is a minimal prime. The first 6 terms (2,2,2,2,2,5) correspond to first entries in A005384, A007693, A051645, A051647, A051653, A051654 respectively.
