COMMENTS

Product of first n primorials: a(n)=Product[A002110(n)],j=1..n.

Superprimorials, from primorials by analogy with superfactorials.

Smallest number with n distinct exponents in its prime factorization.

Subsequence of A130091. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 06 2007

Hankel transform of A171448. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 09 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = m(1)*m(2)*m(3)*...*m(n), where m(n) = n-th primorial number. [njas, Feb 20 2005]

a(0) = 1, a(n) = a(n - 1)p(n)#, where p(n)# is the n-th primorial (the product of the first n primes). [Alonso del Arte, Sep 30 2011]

log a(n) = n^2(log n + log log n - 3/2 + o(1))/2. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 14 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 360 because 2^3 * 3^2 * 5 = 1 * 2 * 6 * 30 = 360.

a(5) = 75600 because 2^4 * 3^3 * 5^2 * 7 = 1 * 2 * 6 * 30 * 210 = 75600.

MAPLE

a := []; printlevel := -1; for k from 1 to 20 do a := [op(a), product(ithprime(i)^(k-i+1), i=1..k)] od; print(a);
