%N a(1) = 3 ; a(n+1) is the prime number obtained by the concatenation {p, a(n)} where p is the smallest prime prefix.

%C By Xylouris' version of Linnik's theorem, a(n) << 3^(6.2^n + cn) for some constant c. [_Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 27 2011]

%e a(1) = 3;

%e a(2) = 23 because 2 is the smallest prime prefix and 23 is prime;

%e a(3) = 223 because 2 is the smallest prime prefix and 223 is prime;

%e a(4) = 31223 because 31 is the smallest prime prefix and 31223 is prime.
