COMMENTS
a(3)=a(4)=19, a(7)=a(8)=a(9)=159, ..., a(74)=a(75)=...=a(82)=424783, ... . A244434 gives numbers n such that a(n) does not belong to the set {a(n-1),a(n+1)}.
EXAMPLE
a(3)=19 because all the three numbers 2*1*19+1=39, 2*2*19+1=77 & 2*3*19+1=115 are composite and 19 is the smallest such number.
