COMMENTS

The first few values of n such that 78557*2^n + 1 is a semiprime, where k = 78557 (the conjectured smallest Sierpinski number), are: 2, 3, 7, 15, 17, 18, 24, 60, 71, 89, 92, 107, 140, 143, 163,... Conjecture: there are infinitely many semiprimes of this form.

EXAMPLE

a(51)=29 because k*2^51 + 1 is not a semiprime for k=1,2,...28, but 29*2^51 + 1 = 63839 * 1022920073887 is.
