A101720 Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 43, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 7 for n > 0. 1

%S 0,3,8,9,30,69,159,170,276,629,723,3716,5541,5633,10655,12723,31953

%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 43, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 7 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (380*10^n + 7)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 4 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 2 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 723 are certified primes.

%C a(18) > 10^5. - _Robert Price_, May 09 2015

%H Makoto Kamada, <a href="https://stdkmd.net/nrr/4/42223.htm#prime">Prime numbers of the form 422...223</a>.

%H <a href="/index/Pri#Pri_rep">Index entries for primes involving repunits</a>.

%F a(n) = A102985(n+1) - 1.

%e 42223 is prime, hence 3 is a term.
