COMMENTS

Numbers k such that 9*R_k - 2 is a prime number, where R_k = 11...1 is the repunit (A002275) of length k.

If k is in the sequence (10^k-3 is prime) and m=3*(10^k-3) then phi(m)=reversal(m), i.e., m is in the sequence A069215. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Dec 25 2004

No further terms for k <= 407197, see Kamada link.

FORMULA

a(n) = A056662(n) + 1.

EXAMPLE

10^2 - 3 = 97 is a prime number (in fact all terms are the largest less than 10^k).

MATHEMATICA

m = 1000; For[n = 1, n < m, If[PrimeQ[10^n - 3], Print[n]]; n++]
