When 2n + 1 = p is prime, a(n) = p.
From Robert Israel, Sep 26 2017: (Start)
a(n) is also the first prime in the sequence defined by the recursion x(k+2)=2*x(k+1)+(2*n-1)*x(k) with x(0)=x(1)=1.
a(307), if it exists, has more than 10000 digits.
It appears that x(n*k) is divisible by x(k) if n is odd. Thus a(n) (if it exists) must be x(k) where k is either a power of 2 or a prime. (End)

EXAMPLE
|
For k = {1, 2, 3, 4}, (1/2)((1 + sqrt(8))^k) + (1 - sqrt(8))^k)) = {1, 9, 25, 113}. 113 is prime, so a(4) = 113.
