%N Primeth recurrence: a(n+1) = a(n)-th prime.

%C A007097(n) = Min {k : A109301(k) = n} = the first k whose rote height is n, the level set leader or minimum inverse function corresponding to A109301. - _Jon Awbrey_, Jun 26 2005

%C _Lubomir Alexandrov_ informs me that he studied this sequence in his 1965 notebook. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 23 2008

%C a(n) is the Matula-Goebel number of the rooted path tree on n+1 vertices. The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree can be defined in the following recursive manner: to the one-vertex tree there corresponds the number 1; to a tree T with root degree 1 there corresponds the t-th prime number, where t is the Matula-Goebel number of the tree obtained from T by deleting the edge emanating from the root; to a tree T with root degree m>=2 there corresponds the product of the Matula-Goebel numbers of the m branches of T. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Feb 18 2012

%C Conjecture: log(a(1))*log(a(2))*...*log(a(n)) ~ a(n). - _Thomas Ordowski_, Mar 26 2015
