[seqfan] Re: 2^prime(n) - prime(n^2)

[Neil Sloane]

Interesting!

n*Prime[Prime[n]] - Prime[n] = 1, 7, 28, 61, 144, 233, 396, 517, 724, 1061,
…

Here are a few more terms:

1, 7, 28, 61, 144, 233, 396, 517, 724, 1061, 1366, 1847, 2286, 2631, 3118,
3803,
    4650, 5033, 6222, 6989, 7634, 8743, 9830, 10975, 12628, 14121, 15098,
16329,
    17262, 18397, 21852, 23517, 25372, 26959, 29916, 31421, 33846, 36583,
38482,
    41067, 43404, 45473, 49388, 51331, 53848, 55783, 60748, 67409, 69990,
72121

Please submit it!

For a slower rate of growth, one can consider

a(n) = n*prime(prime(n)) - prime(n)^2.

which I just submitted as A230098.
