Example

a(5) = 151 because 151 is prime, 151-1 = 150 is divisible by 6*5, and 151 > a(4) = 73.

Maple

A:= Vector(100):
A[1]:= 7:
for n from 2 to 100 do
  for k from floor((A[n-1]-1)/(6*n))+1  do
    p:= 6*n*k+1;
    if isprime(p) then A[n]:= p; break fi
od od:
convert(A, list);

Mathematica

a[n_] := a[n] = Module[{p = If[n == 1, 2, NextPrime[a[n - 1]]]}, While[!Divisible[p - 1, 6*n], p = NextPrime[p]]; p]; Array[a, 50] (* Amiram Eldar, Jun 29 2022 *)
