A152872 -id:A152872 - cp's OEIS frontend

A152871 Irregular table with first row containing the single term 3; in the n-th row, n>=2, we list in increasing order those d=2^(n+1)-a, for each term a in all the preceding rows, such that d is prime.

3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 29, 53, 59, 61, 67, 109, 197, 227, 251, 499, 509, 773, 797, 827, 971, 1013, 1019, 1021, 1549, 1987, 2029, 3083, 3299, 3323, 4091, 4093, 4099, 6163, 8179, 15413, 16187, 16381, 28669, 30781, 31219, 32707, 32749, 50123, 62213, 64709, 64763

Since primes above the n-th row are <2^n, primes in the n-th row are >2^(n+1)-2^n=2^n. Thus in different rows primes are different.

Questions: 1) Is every row nonempty? 2) Is the sequence infinite (an infinite number of nonempty rows)?
