FORMULA

a(n+1)=nextprime(a(n)+a(n-1)) where nextprime(n) is smallest prime >= n.

a(n) is asymptotic to c*phi^n where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2 and c= 1.086541275044988562375... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 02 2004

EXAMPLE

After 3,5, the next prime >=8 is 11.

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=local(v); if(n<2, n>=0, n++; v=vector(n, i, 1); for(i=3, n, v[i]=nextprime(v[i-1]+v[i-2])); v[n]) - Michael Somos Feb 01 2004
