COMMENTS

Dirichlet's theorem ensures that there always exists such a smallest prime because two primes are always coprime.

EXAMPLE

a(2) is the smallest prime of the form 5*b+3 and b > 0. Hence a(2) = 13.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Module[{k}, k = 1; While[Not[PrimeQ[k*Prime[n + 1] + Prime[n]]], k++ ]; k*Prime[n + 1] + Prime[n]]; Table[a[i], {i, 1, 50}]
