This is the text file for base 10, d=7.

Since in https://www.rose-hulman.edu/~rickert/Compositeseq/, there is no list for base 10, d=7.

The conjectured k is 891, since 891*10^n+7*(10^n-1)/9 has a covering set {3, 11, 13, 37}, period=6. This conjecture is proven.

In this text file, n's > 1000 are given by http://oeis.org/A090464 (711*10^1648+7*(10^1648-1)/9), http://oeis.org/A257460 (337*10^2184+7*(10^2184-1)/9 and 599*10^2508+7*(10^2508-1)/9) and http://www.worldofnumbers.com/em197.htm (95*10^2904+7*(10^2904-1)/9, 480*10^11330+7*(10^11330-1)/9 and 851*10^28895+7*(10^28895-1)/9).

Last fiddled with by sweety439 on 2017-06-28 at 13:55 Reason: correct the remain k's for base 4

 2017-06-11, 21:39 #50 sweety439     Nov 2016 42678 Posts A k is included in the conjecture if and only if this k has infinitely many prime candidates. Thus, although these k's have a prime, they are excluded from the conjectures: base 4, d=1, k=1: Although 1*4^1+(4^1-1)/3 is prime, but 1*4^n+(4^n-1)/3 is prime only for n=1, because of the algebra factors, thus k=1 is excluded from b4d1. base 8, d=1, k=1: Although 1*8^2+(8^2-1)/7 is prime, but 1*8^n+(8^n-1)/7 is prime only for n=2, because of the algebra factors, thus k=1 is excluded from b8d1. base 8, d=9, k=1: Although 9*8^1+(8^1-1)/7 is prime, but 9*8^n+(8^n-1)/7 is prime only for n=1, because of the algebra factors, thus k=9 is excluded from b8d1.

I wrote a small Mathematica notebook to handle this (see attached zip file). Note I did make one change: if the number n is already prime then the number of iterations is 0.
Feel free to play around with the parameters. The output is a bunch of cells which has three numbers: the starting n, the number of iterations, and the ending prime.

You only ran 2*n+1 (and only ran for n<=100), which is equivalent to the Riesel base 2 problem.

I also have the other formulas like 2*n-1 which is equivalent to the Sierpinski base 2 problem), 2*n+-3, 2*n+-5, 2*n+-7, 3*n+-1, 3*n+-2, 3*n+-4, 3*n+-5, 3*n+-7, 3*n+-8, ,4*n+-1, 4*n+-3, 4*n+-5, 4*n+-7, 5*n+-1, 5*n+-2, 5*n+-3, 5*n+-4, 6*n+-1, 6*n+-5, ...

These are the text files for 2x+-3 for x<=1024 (gcd(x,3) =1), note that for 2x-3, this x must be >3, or the numbers would be negative.
