COMMENT

From the definition we see that the sequence is monotonic (but not strictly) increasing. The sequence is a generalized Cunningham chain. - Stefan Steinerberger (stefan.steinerberger(AT)gmail.com), May 12 2007

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 13 because 13, 13*2-7=19 and 19*2-7=31 are primes.

MATHEMATICA

k = 5; For[n = 2, n <= 10, n++, While[Union[PrimeQ[NestList[2# - 7 &, Prime[k], n]], PrimeQ[NestList[2# - 7 &, Prime[k], n]]] != {True}, k++ ]; Print[Prime[k]]] - Stefan Steinerberger (stefan.steinerberger(AT)gmail.com), May 12 2007
