%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 83, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 27 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that 80*10^n + 3 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 8 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 0 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 368 are certified primes.

%e 83 is prime, hence 0 is a term.
