%N Index of the least Wendt determinant (A048954(k)) that is divisible by the least prime of the form k*prime(n) + 1.

%C It has been conjectured by Michael B Rees that for every prime p there exists a Wendt determinant index j such that for all j < k primes of the form j*p + 1 will not divide Wendt(j). This sequence gives the least index k such that Wendt(k) is divisible by the least prime of the form k*p + 1 for each prime p = prime(n).

%e a(2) = 10 gives k = 10, Wendt(10) = -210736858987743 = -1*3*11^9*31^3 and p = prime(2) = 3. Hence with k = 10 and p = 3, Wendt(k) is the least Wendt determinant divisible by the least prime of the form p*k + 1.
