COMMENT

Conjecture: The number of primes in a row for f'(x,p) = 2*prime(p)*x + prime(p+1) is finite.

FORMULA

Define prime(p) = the p-th prime number. The equation f(x,p) = prime(p)x^2 + prime(p+1)x + prime(p+2) is differentiated to get f'(x,p) = 2prime(p)x + prime(p+1). Then f'(x,p) is evaluated at p=1,2,.. for each x =1,2,.. until f'(x,p) is not prime at which point x is incremented and p=1,2,..

EXAMPLE

For x = 4 we have 2*prime(p)*x + prime(p+1) =

2*2*4+3 = 19 prime,

2*3*4+5 = 29 prime,

2*5*4+7 = 47 prime,

2*7*4+11 = 67 prime,

2*11*4+13 = 101 prime,

2*13*4+17 = 121 not prime.

So the subsequence 19,29,47,67,101 is in the sequence beginning in the 6-th position.

PROGRAM

(PARI) g(n) = { local(x, y, p); for(x=0, n, for(p=1, n, y=2*prime(p)*x+prime(p+1); if(isprime(y), print1(y", "), break) ) ) }
