Smarandache-Wellin number

Smarandache-Wellin number

In mathematics, a Smarandache-Wellin number is an integer that in a given base is the concatenation of the first "n" prime numbers written in that base. Smarandache-Wellin numbers are named after Florentin Smarandache and Paul R. Wellin.

The first decimal Smarandache-Wellin numbers are:

:2, 23, 235, 2357, 235711, ... OEIS|id=A019518.

Smarandache-Wellin primes

A Smarandache-Wellin number that is also prime is called a Smarandache-Wellin prime. The first three are 2, 23 and 2357 (OEIS2C|id=A069151). The fourth has 355 digits and ends with the digits 719. [cite book

The primes at the end of the concatenation in the Smarandache-Wellin primes are:2, 3, 7, 719, 1033, 2297, 3037, 11927?, ... (OEIS2C|id=A046284).

The indices of the Smarandache-Wellin primes in the sequence of Smarandache-Wellin numbers are::1, 2, 4, 128, 174, 342, 435, 1429?, ... (OEIS2C|id=A046035).

The 1429th Smarandache-Wellin number is a probable prime with 5719 digits ending in 11927, discovered by Eric W. Weisstein in 1998. [Rivera, Carlos, [http://www.primepuzzles.net/puzzles/puzz_008.htm Primes by Listing] ] If it is proven prime, it will be the eighth Smarandache-Wellin prime. In July 2006 Weisstein's search showed the index of the next Smarandache-Wellin prime (if one exists) is greater than 18272. [MathWorld|title=Integer Sequence Primes|urlname=IntegerSequencePrimes]
