%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 13, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 23 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (140*10^n - 23)/9 is prime.

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

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 75 are certified primes.

%C a(9) > 10^5. - Robert Price, Apr 10 2015
