COMMENTS

a(2,n) satisfies the following inequality: 1/4*(n^2+3*n+1)<=a(n)<=1/4*(n-2)^2. Also a(a(r,k), n)=a(r,n+k-1), for all n,k in N\{0} and all r in N\{0,1}; a(prime(k), n)=a(prime(i), n+prime(k)-prime(i)), for all k,i,n e N\{0}, with k >= i, n >= prime(k-1) and with prime(x) := x-th prime.

Essentially the same as A076271.

FORMULA

a(m, n) := a(m, n-1) + lp(a(m, n-1)), a(m, 1) := m; with lp(x) := "largest prime factor of x"

a(n) = p(m)*(n+2-p(m)), where p(k) is the k-th prime and m is the smallest index such that n+2 <= p(m) + p(m+1). [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Oct 21 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(2,2)=4 because 2+ lp(2)= 2+2=4; a(2,3)=6 because 4 + lp(4)= 4+2=6
