%C Primes that are base-b repunits with three or more digits for at least one b >= 2: Primes in A053696. Subsequence of A000668 U A076481 U A086122 U A165210 U A102170 U A004022 U ... (for each possible b). - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Sep 07 2009

%C From _Bernard Schott_, Dec 18 2012: (Start)

%C Also known as Brazilian primes. The primes that are not Brazilian primes are in A220627.

%C The number of terms k+1 is always an odd prime, but this is not enough to guarantee a prime, for example 111 = 1 + 10 + 100 = 3*37.

%C The inverses of the Brazilian primes form a convergent series; the sum is slightly larger than 0.33 (see Theorem 4 of Quadrature article in the Links). (End)

%C It is not known whether there are infinitely many Brazilian primes. See A002383. - _Bernard Schott_, Jan 11 2013

%C Primes of the form (n^p - 1)/(n - 1), where p is odd prime and n > 1. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 25 2013

%C Number of terms less than 10^n: 1, 5, 14, 34, 83, 205, 542, 1445, 3880, 10831, 30699, 88285, ..., . - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Mar 31 2014

%C From _Bernard Schott_, Apr 08 2017: (Start)

%C Brazilian primes fall into two classes:

%C 1) when n is prime, we get sequence A023195 except 3 which is not Brazilian,

%C 2) when n is composite, we get sequence A285017. (End)

%C The conjecture proposed in Quadrature "No Sophie Germain prime is Brazilian (prime)" (see link Bernard Schott, Quadrature, Conjecture 1, page 36) is false. Thanks to _Giovanni Resta_, who found that a(856) = 28792661 = 1 + 73 + 73^2 + 73^3 + 73^4 = (11111)_73 is the 141385th Sophie Germain prime. - _Bernard Schott_, Mar 08 2019

%F A010051(a(n)) * A088323(a(n)) > 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jan 22 2014

%e 13 is a term since it is prime and 13 = 1 + 3 + 3^2 = 111_3.

%e 31 is a term since it is prime and 31 = 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 = 11111_2.

%e The sequence represented as a sparse matrix with the k-th column indexed by A006093(k+1), primes minus 1, and row n by A000027(n+1). Traversing the matrix by counterdiagonals produces a non-monotone ordering.
