Primes of the form k! + A005165(k - 1).

Links

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..10.

Example

139 is in the sequence because it is 5! + (4! - 3! + 2! - 1!).

Prog

(PARI) \\ here b(n) is n! + A005165(n-1).
b(n) = {n! - sum(i=1, n-1, (-1)^(n-i)*i!)}
{ for(k=1, 150, if(ispseudoprime(b(k)), print1(b(k), ", "))) } \\ Andrew Howroyd, Mar 12 2023
