Comments

Previous name: a(n) = min(k : A067760((k-1)/2)) = n.

a(n) is the first odd number k for which 2^m + k is the first prime value, as m ranges from 0 to n, or 0 if no such k exists. Thus it is the first k for which A067760((k-1)/2) = n, and therefore also the first k for which you need to test primality of exactly n values to show that it is not a dual Sierpiński number.

In the name, g(n) = A067760(n) except for n=1. - Michel Marcus, Apr 07 2018

Formula

For n>=2, a(n) = (min(k : A067760((k-1)/2)) = n). - Michel Marcus, Apr 07 2018

Example

2^i + 7 is composite for i < 2 (with values 8, 9) but prime for i = 2 (11); the smaller odd numbers 1, 3 and 5 each yield a prime for smaller i, so a(2) = 7.

Prog

(PARI) g(k) = {my(j=0); while (!isprime(2^j+k), j++); j; }
a(n) = {my(k = 1); while(g(k) != n, k+=2); k; } \\ Michel Marcus, Apr 07 2018
