FORMULA

a(n)=Min{p[x]; Mod[1+[2^n].p[x], p[x+1]]=0}; a(n)=A087985[2^n]

EXAMPLE

n=1: 1+(2^1).p=mq is not possible with {p,q} consecutive prime pair;

n=2s: 1+2^[2s].p=mq is solvable with {p,q}={2,3} primes so a[2s]=2;

n=4s+3: 1+2^[4s+3].p=mq is solvable with {p,q}={3,5} primes;

n=12s+5: 1+2^[12s+5].p=mq is solvable with {p,q}={5,7}.

If n=12s+1 opr n=12s+1 or n=12s+9 then larger nontrivial solutions

exist.

Eg:

n=37:2^37=137438953472

a(37)=61673=p[6206] because 1+137438953472.61673=8476272577478657=

61681.137421127697, 61681=p[6207].

Further set of solutions are derivable with special exponents of 2.

See e.g. n=60s+9 and n=60s+49 provide mostly a[n]=29 or more rarely

a[n]=19.
