%N Smallest k such that n times concatenation of k with itself followed by a 9 is a prime, or 0 if no such number exists.

%C Conjecture: a(3n) = 0. No other term is zero.

%C a(3n)=0: consider the sum of the digits modulo 3. For the same reason, if a(m) is divisible by 3 then a(m)=0. - _Sam Alexander_, Nov 15 2003

%H XIAO Gang, <a href="http://wims.unice.fr/wims/wims.cgi">Factoris - a program that factorizes huge integers</a>, 1997-1999

%e a(2) = 2 as 229 is a prime. but 119 is not.
