Abstract: Mills showed that there exists a constant $A$ such that $lfloor{A}^{3^n}floor$ is prime for every positive integer $n$. Kuipers and Ansari generalized this result to $lfloor{A}^{c^n}floor$ where $cinmathbbR$ and $cgeq2.106$. The main contribution of this paper is a proof that the function $lceil{B}^{c^n}ceil$ is also a prime-representing function, where $lceilXceil$ denotes the ceiling or least integer function. Moreover, the first 10 primes in the sequence generated in the case $c=3$ are calculated. Lastly, the value of $B$ is approximated to the first $5500$ digits and is shown to begin with $1.2405547052ldots$.
