%N a(n) = nextprime(2^n) - 2^n.

%C A013597 and A092131 use different definitions of "nextprime(2)", namely A151800 vs A007918: A013597 assumes nextprime(2) = 3 = A151800(2), whereas A092131 assumes nextprime(2) = 2 = A007918(n). [Edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 09 2015]

%C If (for n>0) a(n)=1, then n is a power of 2 and 2^n+1 is a Fermat prime. n=1,2,4,8,16 are probably the only indices with this property. - _Franz Vrabec_, Sep 27 2005

%C Conjecture: there are no SierpiƄski numbers in the sequence. See A076336. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Aug 13 2017
