%S 2,8,14,20,26,86,179,1940,3959,4994,8576,23480,27854,80594

%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 27, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 23 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (220*10^n + 23)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 2 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 4 followed by digit 7 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 179 are certified primes.

%C With alternating signs, expansion of cosh(atan(x)).

%C a(15) > 10^5. - _Robert Price_, Mar 15 2015.

%F a(n) = A102954(n) - 1.

%e 2447 is prime, hence 2 is a term.
