COMMENTS

The Huntley reference would suggest prefixing the sequence with an initial 4 - Enoch Haga (Enokh(AT)comcast.net). [But that would conflict with the definition! - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 13 2009]

Sequence appears to coincide with the sequence of numbers n such that the largest prime < sqrt(n) and the smallest prime > sqrt(n) divide n. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 04 2002

a(n+1) = smallest number such that GCD ( a(n), a(n+1) ) = prime(n+1). - Alexandre Wajnberg and Ray Chandler (alexandre.wajnberg(AT)skynet.be), Oct 14 2005

Also the area of rectangles whose side lengths are consecutive primes. E.g. The consecutive primes 7,11 produce a 7x11 unit rectangle which has area 77 square units. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Jul 28 2006

a(n)=a001358(A172348(n)); A046301(n)=LCM(a(n),a(n+1)); A065091(n)=GCD(a(n),a(n+1)); A066116(n+2)=a(n+1)*a(n); A109805(n)=a(n+1)-a(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 13 2011]
