A084832 Numbers k such that 2*R_k - 1 is prime, where R_k = 11...1 is the repunit (A002275) of length k. 4

%S 4,18,100,121,244,546,631,1494,2566,8088,262603,282948,359860

%N Numbers k such that 2*R_k - 1 is prime, where R_k = 11...1 is the repunit (A002275) of length k.

%C Also numbers k such that (2*10^k-11)/9 is prime.

%C Larger values correspond to strong pseudoprimes.

%F a(n) = A056660(n) + 1.

%e a(1) = 4 because 2*(10^4-1)/9-1 = 2221 is prime.

%e a(2) = 18 means that 222222222222222221 is prime.
