%N Smallest k such that k*prime(n)# + 1 is prime where prime(n)# is the n-th primorial number A002110(n).

%C From _Pierre CAMI_, Sep 12 2017: (Start)

%C Conjectures:

%C lim_{N->inf} (Sum_{n=1..N} a(n)) / (Sum_{n=1..N} n) = 1/2;

%C a(n)/n is always < 4.

%C This is certified for the first 3100 primes a(n)*prime(n)#+1.

%C (End)
