Comments

a(n) is the least prime p such that p^n is in A280257.

The generalized Dickson conjecture would imply that a(n) exists for all n.

a(n) = 2 for n in A046847.

Example

For n=5, 5*(19^5-1)+1 = 12380491 is prime, but 5*(p^5-1)+1 is not prime for primes p < 19, so a(5)=19.

Maple

f:= proc(n) local p;
     p:= 2:
     while not isprime(n*(p^n-1)+1) do p:= nextprime(p) od;
     p
end proc:
map(f, [$1..100]);
