%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 19, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 31 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (140*10^n + 31)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 1 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 5 followed by digit 9 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 830 are certified primes.
