The sequence goes on with a(18, 19, 20, ...) = 112733682549950000276752997, 32674073817649531442865671, 376147205196163170923414109829, ... - M. F. Hasler, Jan 14 2012
The terms are of the form a(n)=A002110(n+k)/Q - n, where Q is the product of k among the first n+k-1 primes, and these k primes include all prime factors of n, cf. examples. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 14 2012
This sequence is infinite under Dickson's conjecture. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 16 2012
EXAMPLE
a(4)=1151, for example, is the first of a sequence of primes that continues with 1361, 2141, 2411, 2801, 3251, 3881, 3923, ...with the property 1151+4=3*5*7*11, 1361+4=3*5*7*13, 2141+5=3*5*11*13, 2801+4=3*5*11*17, 3251+4=3*5*7*31, 3881+4=3*5*7*37, 3923+4=3*7*11*17, ...
The terms can be written a(n)=A002110(n+k)/Q-n (cf. comment) as follows:
a(1)=A002110(2)/2 - 1
a(2)=A002110(3)/2 - 2
a(3)=A002110(4)/3 - 3
a(4)=A002110(5)/2 - 4
a(5)=A002110(7)/(5*11) - 5
a(6)=A002110(8)/(2*3) - 6
a(7)=A002110(9)/(7*17) - 7
a(8)=A002110(9)/2 - 8
a(9)=A002110(12)/(3*29*31) - 9
a(10)=A002110(14)/(2*5*37*41) - 10
a(11)=A002110(13)/(11*37) - 11
a(12)=A002110(16)/(2*3*41*43) - 12
a(13)=A002110(14)/13 - 13
a(14)=A002110(18)/(2*7*53*59) - 14
a(15)=A002110(18)/(3*5*47) - 15
a(16)=A002110(18)/(2*59) - 16
a(17)=A002110(20)/(17*59*67) - 17
a(18)=A002110(22)/(2*3*67*71) - 18
etc.
