COMMENTS
For any n > 0: gcd(A109613(n), A062383(n)) = 1, hence, by Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions, we have a prime number, say p, of the form A109613(n) + k * A062383(n) with k > 0; this prime number satisfies p AND n = n; also a(0) = 2, hence the sequence is well defined for any n >= 0.
a(n) = n iff n is prime.
Each prime number appears 2*k times in this sequence for some k > 0.
FORMULA
a(n) = n + A295335(n).
For any k > 1, a(2*k) = a(2*k+1).
EXAMPLE
a(42) = 42 + A295335(42) = 42 + 1 = 43.
