%N Primes of the form primorial P(k)*n-1 with minimal n, n>0, k>=2.

%C Weak conjecture: sequence is defined for all k>=2; strong conjecture: n<(prime(k))^2;

%C Smallest prime p such that the prime factorization of p+1 contains the first n+1 primes. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 03 2012

%e P(2)*1-1=5 is prime, so a(2)=5;

%e P(9)*3-1=669278609 is prime, so a(9)=669278609;
