COMMENTS

Puzzle 217 on Carlos Rivera's The Prime Puzzles & Problems Connection has anticipated some of the concepts of this sequence. Several people have contributed to this puzzle and some of its terms may be seen there. In particular, the first page of the puzzle includes a term in this sequence.

FORMULA

a(n) = A000720(A133584(n))

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5591 because this is the index of prime 55001 where n=2 and 55 in the index matches the first two leading digits of the prime.

MAPLE

A133583 := proc(n)

local p, i, dgsi, dgsp, d, wrks;

p := 2 ;

for i from 1 do

dgsi := convert(i, base, 10) ;

dgsp := convert(p, base, 10) ;

if nops(dgsi) >= n and nops(dgsp) >= n then

wrks := true;

for d from 1 to n do

if op(-d, dgsi) <> op(-d, dgsp) then

wrks := false ;

break;

end if;

end do:

if wrks then

return i;

end if;

end if;

p := nextprime(p) ;
