%N Incrementally largest values of minimal x satisfying the equation x^2 - D*y^2 = 5, where D is a prime number.
%C Analogous to A033315 for x^2 - D*y^2 = 1, and D required to be prime.
%C Should 5 be inserted as the initial terms, and if so, should 5 (for D=5) be inserted at the beginning of A341079? - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Feb 20 2021

%e For D=29, the least x for which x^2 - D*y^2 = 5 has a solution is 11. The next prime, D, for which x^2 - D*y^2 = 5 has a solution is 31, but the smallest x in this case is 6, which is less than 11. The next prime, D, after 31 for which x^2 - D*y^2 = 5 has a solution is 41 and the least x for which it has a solution is 13, which is larger than 11, so it is a new record value. 29 is a term of A341079 and 11 is a term of this sequence, but 31 is not a term of A341079 because the least x for which x^2 - D*y^2 = 5 has a solution is not a record value.
%e From _Jon E. Schoenfield_, Feb 18 2021: (Start)
%e As D runs through the primes, the minimal x values satisfying the equation x^2 - D*y^2 = 5 begin as follows:
