Dear Antti, Peter, seqfrans.
I'm sorry, but initially I meant:
a(n-2) = the largest prime factor of (a(n)+a(n-1)),
but during calculations (as Mmca is very slow)
I changed to interactive way, and after it
I even changed the description
(correct or not, this isn't what I meant anyway).
So I ask C++ and Mmca gurus to check how many terms
are OK according to this correct definition,
and add (optionally) new terms.
After it, %N A126607 may be changed to
%N A126607 a(1) = 2 , a(2) = 3, a(n) = a least prime
such that a(n-2) is the largest prime factor of
(a(n)+a(n-1)).
Thank you all responding,
Zak
PS If time allows
I'll explain, hopefully, the "origin" of this
(not arbitrarily contrived)
sequence.
