COMMENTS

a(n) is the same as: Smallest integer x > 0 such that the number of unitary-prime-divisors of x! equals n.

Let p_n be the n-th prime. If p_n>3 is in the sequence, then all integers (p_n-1)/2, (p_n-3)/2, ..., (p_(n-1)+1)/2 are composite numbers. [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Aug 12 2009]

For n>=3, denote by q(n) the prime which is the nearest from the left to a(n)/2. Then there exists a prime between 2q(n) and a(n). Converse, generally speaking, is not true, i.e. there exist primes outside the sequence, but possess such property (e.g., 131) [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Aug 14 2009]

See sequence A164958 for a generalization. [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Sep 02 2009]

a(n) is the n-th Labos prime.

FORMULA

a(n)=Min{x; Pi[x]-Pi[x/2]=n}=Min{x; A056171(x)=n}=Min{x; A056169(n!)=n}; where Pi()=A000720().

a(n)<=A193507(n) (Cf. A194186). - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 18 2011

EXAMPLE

n=5: in 31! five unitary-prime-divisors appear (firstly): {17,19,23,29,31}, while other primes {2,3,5,7,11,13} are at least squared. Thus a(5)=31.

Consider a(9)=71. Then the nearest prime<71/2 is q(9)=31, and between 2q(9) and a(9), i.e. between 62 and 71 there exists a prime (67). [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Aug 14 2009]
