[seqfan] Re: Differenes of conscutive primes

[Harvey P. Dale]

	Richard is correct.  The following Mathematica program shows no
gaps from 1 through 69, and I'm fairly confident that expanding the
Range constant will fill in the missing numbers between 69 and 73:

Union[Rest[#/2&/@Differences[Prime[Range[500000]]]]]

	Best,

	Harvey

vp> Consider the halved differences of consecutive primes
(Prime[k+1]-Prime[k])/2, k=2,3,4,.,K. Remove the duplicates and sort to
obtain an ordered set {1,2,3,.,a(i)}of all natural numbers from 1 to
a(i). The allowed numbers a(i) make up the following sequence: a(i) = 1,
2, 3, 4, 7, 17, 18,.

My impression from http://oeis.org/A000230 is that this sequence of
halved
prime gaps is dense, and does not miss numbers in the range 8 to 16.
