%N Integers k such that k^k + k^2 + 2*k + 1 is prime.

%C The next prime (if any) is unknown, but it must exceed 2000^2000 + 2000^2 + 2*2000 + 1 (a 6603-digit number).

%C a(11) > 15000, if it exists. - _Michael S. Branicky_, Sep 17 2024

%e If k = 2, then k^k + k^2 + k*2 + 1 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 2*2 + 1 = 13, which is prime.
