Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Primes that appear as a substring in the concatenation of primes.

%C Start with a blank concatenation string S. Does prime p(1)=2 appear in string S? No. Concatenate 2 to string S. Does prime p(2)=3 appear in string S="2"? No. Concatenate 3 to string S. Does prime p(3)=5 appear in string S="23"? No. Concatenate 5 to string S. and so on Does prime p(9)=23 appear in string S="235711131719"? Yes. 23 is in the sequence. Do not concatenate 23 to string S.

%e a(1)= 23 because 23 appears in the string 235711131719. a(3)= 71 because 71 appears in the string 235711131719293741434753596167. (Notice "23" is omitted from the string here: 235711131719--293741434753596167.)
