%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 59, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 51 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (480*10^n + 51)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 5 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 3 followed by digit 1 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 714 are certified primes.
