Index entries for sequences related to primes in arithmetic progressions

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 89 because the numbers 89, 179, 359, 719, 1439, 2879 are all primes and 89 is the first number to have this property.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := 2n + 1; k = 1; Do[ While[ Union[ PrimeQ[ NestList[ f, Prime[k], n]]] != {True}, k++ ]; Print[ Prime[k]], {n, 1, 9} ]
