%N Initial prime, greater than 7, of a prime chain of length n under the iteration x -> 2x-7.
%C From the definition we see that the sequence is monotonic (but not strictly) increasing. The sequence is a generalized Cunningham chain. - _Stefan Steinerberger_, May 12 2007
%e a(2) = 13 because 13, 13*2-7=19 and 19*2-7=31 are primes.
