[seqfan] Re: Primes that are concatenation of the first n primes

[zak seidov]

Douglas,

1. you are right!
I should say "lexicographically least"!

That is we start with p_1....p_n
and look for lexicographically least permutation
of n primes which gives a prime.

2. But your version is also correct and ... is 
A083427 Smallest prime which is a concatenation of n distinct primes. 
2, 23, 257, 2357, 112573, 11132357, 11131719257, 111317193257
2a. So you may send "more terms" to A083427!


3. Also notice that A053095 differs from A171437 (A053095(n)>=A171437(n)):
	 	 
A053095  Number of primes having exactly same digits as appear in first n primes.  	 	 
	1, 1, 1, 8, 62, 568 
3a. So you may wish to find "more terms" to A053095! 

Thanks,
Zak
P.S.
4. I'll cc this to the list!
