FORMULA

Integer part of p#/((p-2)#*2#), where p=prime(n) and i# is the primorial function A034386(i). - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Feb 25 2005

a(n) = prime_n - floor((prime_n)/2) - 1. Giovanni Teofilatto (g.teofilatto(AT)tiscalinet.it), Nov 05 2005

n# = product of primes <= n. 0#=1#=2. n#/(n-r)#/r# is analogous to the number of combinations of n things taken r at a time: C(n, r) = n!/ (n-r)!/r! where factorial ! is replaced by primorial #.

a(n) = [A034386(prime(n))/(2*A034386(prime(n)-2))], n>2. - [R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), May 18 2009]

MATHEMATICA

Table[Prime[n] - Floor[Prime[n]/2] - 1, {n, 65}] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)

PROG

(PARI) c(n, r) = { local(p); forprime(p=r, n, print1(floor(primorial(p)/ primorial(p-r)/primorial(r)+.0)", ") ) } primorial(n) = \ The product primes <= n using the pari primelimit. { local(p1, x); if(n==0||n==1, return(2)); p1=1; forprime(x=2, n, p1*=x); return(p1) }
