%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 19, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 11 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (160*10^n + 11)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 1 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 7 followed by digit 9 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 103 are certified primes.

%C a(13) > 10^5. - _Robert Price_, Feb 07 2015
