COMMENT

a(n) = n+1 iff n+1 is prime. Conjecture: No term is zero.

EXAMPLE

7+1 = 8, 7*8+1 = 57, 7*8*9+1 = 505, 7*8*9*10+1 = 5041 are all composite, but 7*8*9*10*11 + 1 = 55441 is prime, so a(7) = 55441.

MAPLE

for n from 1 to 70 do k := 0: while(not isprime(1+product(n+i, i=0..k ))) do k := k+1:od:a[n] := 1+product(n+i, i=0..k):od:seq(a[l], l=1..70); (from Sascha Kurz)

PROGRAM

(PARI) for(n=1, 34, k=0; m=n; while(!isprime(m+1, 1), k++; m=m*(n+k)); print1(m+1, ", "))
