%N Smallest number whose Sophie Germain degree (see A063377) is n.

%C Also known as Cunningham chains of length n of the first kind.

%C For each positive integer n, is there some integer with Sophie Germain degree of n?

%e Using f(x)=2x+1, 11 -> 23 -> 47 -> 95, which is composite; thus a(3)=11.

%t NextPrim[n_] := Block[{k = n + 1}, While[ !PrimeQ[k], k++ ]; k]; f[n_] := Block[{k = 2}, While[ Length[ NestWhileList[2# + 1 &, k, PrimeQ]] != n + 1, k = NextPrim[k]]; k]; Table[f[n], {n, 1, 8}]

%Y Cf. A005384, A063377.
