Same as smallest prime p with property that the Legendre symbol (p|q) = 1 for the first n odd primes q = prime(k+1), k = 1, 2, ..., n, and (p|q) = -1 for q = prime(n+2). - T. D. Noe, Mar 06 2013
EXAMPLE
Let f(p) = list of Legendre(p|q) for q = 3,5,7,11,13,...
Then f(3), f(5), f(7), f(11), ... are:
p=3: 0, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ...
p=5: -1, 0, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, ...
p=7: 1, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, ...
p=11: -1, 1, 1, 0, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, ...
p=13: 1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, ...
p=17: -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 0, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, ...
p=19: 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 0, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, ...
p=5 is the first list that begins with -1, so a(0) = 5,
p=7 is the first list that begins 1, -1, so a(1) = 7,
p=19 is the first list that begins 1, 1, -1, so a(2) = 19.
MATHEMATICA
f[n_] := Block[{k = 2}, While[ JacobiSymbol[n, Prime[k]] == 1, k++ ]; Prime[k]]; t = Table[0, {50}]; Do[p = Prime[n]; a = f[p]; If[ t[[ PrimePi[a]]] == 0, t[[ PrimePi[a]]] = p; Print[ PrimePi[a], " = ", p]], {n, 10^9}]
