%N a(n) = 4*b_4(n)+3, where b_4 lists the indices of zeros of the sequence A261304: u(n) = abs(u(n-1)-gcd(u(n-1),4*n-1)), u(1) = 1.
%C For any fixed integer m>=1 define u(1)=1 and u(n)=abs(u(n-1)-gcd(u(n-1),m*n-1)). Then (b_m(k))_{k>=1} is the sequence of integers such that u(b_m(k))=0 and we conjecture that for k large enough m*b_m(k)+m-1 is a prime number. Here for m=4 it appears a(n) is prime for n>=1.
%C See A261304 for the sequence u relevant here (m=4). - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 14 2015

%F We conjecture that a(n) is asymptotic to c*5^n with c=1.9408...
%F See the wiki link for a sketch of a proof of this conjecture. We can give more decimals of c = 1.94080675... - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 22 2015
