Harvey P. Dale, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

FORMULA

a(n)=Prime[n]^2 - Max[q], where Max[q] is the largest prime preceding n-th prime-square.

EXAMPLE

n=4 and p(4)^2=49, preceded by 47 in the minimal distance, 2 so a(4)=2. n=97 and p(97)^2=509^2=259081, just preceded by 259033=p(22765) in a hihgher(=48) distance from the p-square, so a(97)=48.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_]:=Module[{n2=n^2}, n2-NextPrime[n2, -1]]; f/@Prime[Range[90]] (* From Harvey P. Dale, Oct 19 2011 *)
