Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 59th year, we have over 358,000 sequences, and we’ve crossed 10,300 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA

a(n) = Min{q|q is prime, p(n) is the n-th prime and q = 1+p(n)*2^b(n)}.

EXAMPLE

Sophie-Germain primes are here at n = 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, .. etc. At n = 11, p(11) = 31 and in the sequence of q = 1+31*{2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256} = {63, 125, 249, 497, 993, 1985, 3969, 7937}, the first prime is 7937, so b(11) = 8, a(11) = 7937.

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) option remember; local p, m, t; p:= ithprime(n);

for m do t:= 1+p*2^m; if isprime(t) then return t fi od

end:

seq(a(n), n=1..15); # Alois P. Heinz, May 27 2022

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (For[pn = Prime[n]; p = 2, p < 3*10^8 (* large enough to compute 50 terms except a(15) *), p = NextPrime[p], m = Log[2, (p-1)/pn]; If[m > 0 && IntegerQ[m], Print["a(", n, ") = ", p]; Return[p]]]; Print["a(", n, ") not found ", p]; 0); Table[a[n], {n, 1, 50}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Nov 08 2016 *)

PROG

(Python)

from sympy import isprime, prime

def a(n):

m, pn = 1, prime(n)

while not isprime(1 + pn*2**m): m += 1

return 1 + pn*2**m
