%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 93, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 7 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (830*10^n + 7)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 9 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 2 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 677 are certified primes.

%C a(12) > 10^5. - _Robert Price_, Oct 31 2015
