Hi:
A111870 says:
"Prime gaps of increasing merit"
As I understand it, the sequence refers to "Smallest prime p such that its following gap
has bigger merit than the other primes smaller than p."
If that is the case, then it has an error. The sequence starts:
2, 3, 7, 113, 1129, 1327, 19609, 31397, 155921, 360653, 370261, 1357201, 4652353,
2010733...
but you can see that 4652353 > 2010733, so in any case it should be listed after , not
before it. But above that, its merit is 10.03 < 10.20, the merit of 2010733, so it's not
in a mistaken position: it shouldn't appear on the sequence.
Is this correct?
Jose
