A186263 a(n) = 10*b_10(n) + 9, where b_10 lists the indices of zeros of the sequence A261310: u(n) = abs(u(n-1) - gcd(u(n-1), 10n-1)), u(1) = 1.

For any fixed integer m>=1 define u(1)=1 and u(n)=abs(u(n-1)-gcd(u(n-1),m*n-1)). Then (b_m(k))_{k>=1} is the sequence of integers such that u(b_m(k))=0 and we conjecture that for k large enough m*b_m(k)+m-1 is a prime number. Here for m=10 it appears a(n) is prime for n>=1.
See A261310 for the sequence u relevant here (m=10). - M. F. Hasler, Aug 14 2015

Formula

We conjecture that a(n) is asymptotic to c*11^n with c>0.
See the wiki link for a sketch of a proof of this conjecture. We find c = 2.2163823215... - M. F. Hasler, Aug 22 2015

It is conjectured that for all n > 2, u(n) = 0 implies that u(n+1) = 9n+8 is prime, cf. A186261. (This is the sequence {u(n)} mentioned there.)

Examples

			a(2) = a(1) - gcd(a(1),9+8) = 1 - 1 = 0.
a(3) = |a(2) - gcd(a(2),9*2+8)| = gcd(0,26) = 26.
a(3+26) = a(29) = 0 and a(29+1) = gcd(0,9*29+8) = 269 is prime.
