COMMENTS
Some of the larger entries may only correspond to probable primes.
Some or all of the zero values are merely conjectures. - N. J. A. Sloane
a(n)=0 for n = 3m+2 (1<=m) (they are all divisible by 3) or n=11m+10 (1<=m<9) (they are all divisible by 11) and if a(n) is not 0 then n and a(n) are of opposite parity. - Robert G. Wilson v and Rick L. Shepherd, Jul 28 2005

a(79)>14179. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 28 2005
FORMULA
a(A016789(n)) = a(A017509(n)) = 0 for n >= 1. a(n) = 1 iff n is a term of A006093. - Rick L. Shepherd, Jul 26 2005
EXAMPLE
a(13)=4: 4 13s plus 4 = 13131313+4 = 13131317, which is prime.
