%N A080208 a(n) is the least k such that the generalized Fermat number (k+1)^(2^n) + k^(2^n) is prime.
%C A080208 The first five terms correspond to the five known Fermat primes. The sequence A078902 lists some of the generalized Fermat primes. Bjorn and Riesel examined generalized Fermat numbers for k <= 11 and n <= 999. The sequence A080134 lists the conjectured number of primes for each k.
%C A080208 For n >= 10, a(n) yields a probable prime. a(13) was found by _Henri Lifchitz_. It is known that a(14) > 1000.
