[seqfan] Re: sequence of "almost totatives" of primorial Pn

Hi,

Thanks for the code! I'll try sorting the output to get all values up to 1000 or so, would require up to the
second term in Pn(11) ie 31^2 =961, then all later terms should be > 1000 except for the remaining prime numbers > 31 I think.

Here's a definition for the sequence maybe:

For each primorial p, take the product for each totative in p with the prime factor in p+1 not in p.

ie for Pn(3)=30, Pn(3+1) prime factor=7, Pn(3) totatives=1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29 
7*1=7 
7*7=49 
7*11=77 
7*13=91 
7*17=119 
7*19=133 
7*23=161 
7*29=203

That gives the sequence in the second group in the brackets
{7, 49, 77, 91, 119, 133, 161, 203}

cheers,
Jamie

Hello Jamie,

Not sure if your sequence is of any value for the database, but the
following Mathematica code (likely not optimal) generates it:

p[n_] := Product[Prime[k], {k, n - 1}];
a[n_] := a[n] = Prime[n + 1]*t[n];
t[n_] := t[n] =
 If[n == 2, {1, 5},
 Complement[
 Flatten[Table[k*p[n] + t[n - 1], {k, 0, Prime[n] - 1}]],
 a[n - 1]]];
Table[a[n], {n, 2, 4}]

{{5, 25}, {7, 49, 77, 91, 119, 133, 161, 203}, {11, 121,
 143, 187, 209, 253, 319, 341, 407, 451, 473, 517, 583, 649, 671,
 737, 781, 803, 869, 913, 979, 1067, 1111, 1133, 1177, 1199, 1243,
 1331, 1397, 1441, 1507, 1529, 1573, 1639, 1661, 1727, 1793, 1837,
 1859, 1903, 1969, 1991, 2057, 2101, 2123, 2167, 2189, 2299}}
