Comments

These are primes from the sequence A113294, which is differences of Lucas 4-step numbers, also known as "Tetranacci Lucas numbers" or "Tetranacci numbers with different initial conditions" in A073817. Also in the difference set sequence are: 13340261 = 11 * 19 * 29 * 31 * 71 is a product of 5 distinct 2-digit primes; 95550683 = 269 * 593 * 599 is a product of 3 distinct 3-digit primes.

Formula

{a(n)} = Intersection of { | A073817(i) - A073817(j) | such that i>=j} and A000040. {a(n)} = Prime elements of { | A073817(i) - A073817(j) | such that i>=j}. {a(n)} = Prime elements of A113294.

Example

a(1) = 3 because A073817(0)-A001644(1) = 4 - 1 = 3, a prime.
a(2) = 11 because A073817(4)-A001644(0) = 15 - 4 = 11, a prime.
a(3) = 19 because A073817(5)-A001644(3) = 26 - 7 = 19, a prime.
a(4) = 23 because A073817(5)-A001644(2) = 26 - 3 = 23, a prime.
a(16) = 70003 because A073817(17)-A001644(0) = 70007 - 4 = 70003, a prime.
