%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 81, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 61 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (790*10^n - 61)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 8 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 7 followed by digit 1 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 479 are certified primes.

%C a(12) > 10^5. - Robert Price, Oct 25 2015
