A122528 Minimal number k such that (2k)^(2^n) + 1 is prime, but (2k)^(2^m) + 1 is composite for m < n. 1

%S 1,7,17,76,22,57,137,117,307,671,412,1279,767,35926,50915,35453,24297,

%T 114094,12259,37949,459722

%N Minimal number k such that (2k)^(2^n) + 1 is prime, but (2k)^(2^m) + 1 is composite for m < n.

%C A079706(a(n)) = 2^n which is the first occurrence of 2^n in A079706.

%C Corresponding primes A084712(a(n)) are {3, 197, 1336337, 284936905588473857, 197352587024076973231046657, ...}.

%e a(0) = 1 because (2*1)^(2^0) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 is prime.

%e a(1) = 7 because (2*7)^(2^1) + 1 = 14^2 + 1 = 197 is prime but 14 + 1 = 15 is composite.

%o (PARI) a(n)=for(k=1,+oo,if(ispseudoprime((2*k)^(2^n)+1),for(m=0,n-1,ispseudoprime((2*k)^(2^m)+1)&&next(2));return(k))) \\ _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Mar 10 2018
