COMMENTS

For two numbers x and y, HarmonicMean[x,y] = [(GeometricMean[x,y])^2] / Arithmetic Mean[x,y]. What is this sequence, asymptotically? a(n) is prime for n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 15, ... are there an infinite number of prime values?

FORMULA

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2, for n>2: a(n+1) = a(n) + floor(HarmonicMean[a(n),a(n-1)]). a(n+1) = a(n) + floor[(2*a(n)*a(n-1))/(a(n)+a(n-1))].

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 2 + floor[2*1*2/(1+2)] = 2 + floor[4/3] = 2 + 1 = 3.

a(4) = 3 + floor[2*2*3/(2+3)] = 3 + floor[12/5] = 3 + 2 = 5.

a(5) = 5 + floor[2*3*5/(3+5)] = 5 + floor[30/8] = 5 + 3 = 8.

a(6) = 8 + floor[2*5*8/(5+8)] = 5 + floor[80/13] = 5 + 6 = 11.

a(7) = 11 + floor[2*8*11/(8+11)] = 5 + floor[176/19] = 11 + 9 = 20.
