%N a(n) = smallest prime of the form 2^k + 2n - 1, k = 0, 1, ..., or 0 if there is none.

%C If n == 0 (mod 3) then the exponent k must be odd, if n>1 and n == 1 (mod 3) then k must be even and if n == 2 (mod 3) then k can be either.

%F a(n) = 2^A067760(n-1) + 2n-1 if A067760(n-1) > 0, 0 if A067760(n-1) = 0. - _Robert Israel_, Jan 14 2017

%e For n = 4, p = 2 -> 2^2+(2*4-1) = 11, the fourth entry because 2^1+(2*4-1) which equals 9 is not a prime.
