a(n) = Smallest prime such that n appears in A143548. - Eric Chen, Nov 26 2014

The square of a(n) is the smallest squared prime that is a pseudoprime (> n) in base n; for example, a(2) = 1093, and 1093^2 = 1194649 is the smallest squared prime that is pseudoprime in base 2. - Eric Chen, Nov 26 2014

Is a(n) defined for all n? - Eric Chen, Nov 26 2014

Does every prime appear in this sequence? - Eric Chen, Nov 26 2014

a(21) > 3.4 * 10^13. - Eric Chen, Nov 26 2014

Examples

			a(12) = 2693 because the Wieferich primes to base 12 are 2693, 123653, ..., and 2693 is greater than sqrt(12), so a(12) = 2693.
a(17) = 46021 because the Wieferich primes to base 17 are 2, 3, 46021, 48947, 478225523351, ..., but neither 2 nor 3 is greater than sqrt(17), so a(17) = 46021.
