Note the pattern in the first differences of a(n): {34,2,34,2,36,36,1,35,2,34,2,34,4,32,4,32,6,30,6,30,8,28,8,28,10,26,10,26,12,24,12,24,14,22,14,22,16,20,16,20,18,18,18,18,20,16,20,16,22,14,22,14,24,...}. Conjecture: All terms of the arithmetic progression 3+36k belong to a(n). Prime terms in a(n) are {3, 37, 73, 443, 739, 887, 1109, ...}. It appears that all primes in a(n) that are greater than 37 are of the form 37k-1. For example, 73 = 37*2-1, 443 = 37*12-1, 739 = 37*20-1, 887 = 37*24-1, 1109 = 37*30-1. Many terms in a(n) are the multiples of 37. There are terms of the form 37*m with m = {1,3,4,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,37,39,41,...}. Note that 37^4 divides the numerator of generalized harmonic number H(36,n) for n = {111, 147, 1047, 1369, 1443, 1479, ...} = {3*37, 3+4*36, 3+29*36, 37^2, 3+40*36, 3+41*36, ...}.
