%N Decimal expansion of the largest C_0 = 1.2209864... such that for C < C_0 and A < 2 the sequence a(n) = floor[A^(C^n)] can't contain only prime terms.

%C It is not proved that for C > C_0 the mentioned infinite sequence of primes actually exists. However, heuristics show that A243358 could be infinite (the decimal expansion of corresponding A value is A243370).

%F C_0 can be estimated as (logP/log84)^(1/k), where P is k+10th term of A243358.
