%N k such that either 2^k + k - 3 or 2^k + k - 2 is prime.
%C Numbers of this form can be represented in the numeral system described in A235860 with k - 1 ones followed to the right by k - 1 twos or k ones followed to the right by k - 1 twos, like this: 1, 12, 112, 1122, 11122, 111222, 1111222, ... (1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 17, 18, ... in decimal) and are the least numbers that need one more digit to be represented than any of their predecessors.
%C The corresponding sequence of primes starts 3, 17, 67, 1031, 1180591620717411303491, ...
