[seqfan] Re: A002094 from 1875 needs more terms

[Hugo Pfoertner]

At the moment, the link
http://www.mpia-hd.mpg.de/~mathar/public/mathar20180317.pdf
doesn't point to the illustrations of the first terms of A002094, but to an
article
NO COMMON TERMS IN THE SEQUENCES sigma (p^i) AND sigma(p^(i+1))
AS p RUNS THROUGH THE PRIMES.
