COMMENTS

a(n) is odd iff n is prime.

a(Prime[n]) = Numerator[ Sum[ 1/2^Prime[k], {k,1,n} ] ]. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Aug 22 2006

The n-th approximation to the Prime Constant is given by a(n)/2^n - Anton Vrba (antonvrba(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 24 2006

FORMULA

a(1) = 0 and a(n) = a(n-1)*2 + A010051(n) for n>1.

EXAMPLE

a(6)='011010'=(((0*2+1)*2+1)*2*2+1)*2=26; a(7)='0110101'=(((0*2+1)*2+1)*2*2+1)*2*2+1=53; a(8)='01101010'=((((0*2+1)*2+1)*2*2+1)*2*2+1)*2=106.

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) option remember;

      `if` (n<2, 0, 2 * a(n-1) + `if` (isprime(n), 1, 0))

    end:

seq (a(n), n=1..40);

PROG

(PARI) an=0; print1(an, ", "); for(n=2, 31, an=2*an+isprime(n); print1(an, ", ")) - W. Bomfim Jan 18, 2011

(Haskell)

a072762 n = foldl (\v d -> 2*v + d) 0 $ map a010051 [1..n]
