%N a(1)=1; thereafter, a(n+1) = a(n) + 2^(prime(n)-1).

%C Original name: a(1)=1; for n>1, a(n) = a(n-1) + 2^(j-1), where j = prime(n-1) is position of n-th 1 in A080339.

%C Or, take an initial segment of A080339, stopping at the n-th 1, reverse and interpret as a binary number. E.g., to get the 4th term: 11101 -> 10111 = 23, so a(4) = 23.

%C Indices of noncomposite terms in the sequence are 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 310, 418, .... Next term (i.e., index of a prime), if it exists, is > 2000. See also post to SeqFan list by Tomasz Ordowski. - _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 30 2018
