In general, the (b,c,d) Jasinski-like positive power sequence is defined as follows: a(1) = b, a(n+1) = the least prime p such that p = c*a(n) + d^k for positive integer k. The (b,c,d) Jasinski-like nonnegative power sequence is defined: a(1) = b, a(n+1) = the least prime p such that p = c*a(n) + d^k for integer k. In this notation, A113824 is the (1,2,2) Jasinski-like nonnegative power sequence. The first differences of such sequences are powers of d, with no closed-form known upper bound.

Note that last digits cycle 7, 9, 3, 1; 7, 9, 3, 1. Note that the exponent k of 5^k is always odd. This follows from taking this sequence mod 6.

Since the first prime value a(2) = 7 == 1 mod 6, all values a(n) thereafter are primes of the form 6*d+1. Hence a(n+1) = [2*(6*d+1) + 5^2] mod 6 == 12*d + 2 + 1 == 3 mod 6 and would be divisible by 3; a(n+1) = [2*(6*d+1) + 5^4] mod 6 == 12*d + 2 + 1 == 3 mod 6 and would be divisible by 3; and so for all even exponents.

In general, the (b,c,d) Jasinski-like positive power sequence is defined as follows: a(1) = b, a(n+1) = the least prime p such that p = c*a(n) + d^k for positive integer k. The (b,c,d) Jasinski-like nonnegative power sequence is defined: a(1) = b, a(n+1) = the least prime p such that p = c*a(n) + d^k for integer k. In this notation, A113824 is the (1,2,2) Jasinski-like nonnegative power sequence. A113914 is the (1,2,3) Jasinski-like positive power sequence, and this here the (1,2,5) Jasinski-like power sequence.
