COMMENTS

15 of the first 16 terms happen to be prime. As terms increase, the preponderance of primes apparently decreases.

FORMULA

a(n) = Decimal(reverse(Binary(p(n)))) where p(n) is the n-th prime.

a(n)=GrayCodeBinarySum[Prime[n]). - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 21 2008

EXAMPLE

a(14)=53 because the 14th prime is 43, or 101011 binary; reverse of 101011 is 110101, or 53 decimal.

MATHEMATICA

GrayCodeList[k_] := Module[{b = IntegerDigits[k, 2], i}, Do[ If[b[[i - 1]] == 1, b[[i]] = 1 - b[[i]]], {i, Length[b], 2, -1} ]; b ]; a[n_] := GrayCodeList[Prime[n]]; Table[Sum[a[n][[m + 1]]*2^m, {m, 0, Length[a[n]] - 1}], {n, 1, 200}] - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 21 2008

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=my(v=binary(prime(n)), s); forstep(i=#v, 1, -1, s+=s+v[i]); s \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 17 2011
