FORMULA
T(n, A049084(a(n))) = A000040(n), T defined as in A079950.
a(n) = nextprime(prime(n)/2) ~ (n log n)/2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 17 2015
Conjecture: a(n) = A039734(n), n>=2. - R. J. Mathar, May 03 2021
EXAMPLE
n=6: prime(6)=13 and 13 mod(2*2)=1, 13 mod(2*3)=1, 13 mod(2*5)=3, 13 mod(2*7)=13, therefore a(6)=7.
