COMMENTS

See A002386 for complete list of known terms and further references.
Except for a(1)=3 and a(2)=5, a(n) = A168421(k). Primes 3 and 5 are special in that they are the only primes which do not have a Ramanujan prime between them and their double, <= 6 and 10 respectively. Because of the large size of a gap, there are many repeats of the prime number in A168421. - John W. Nicholson, Dec 10 2013
