COMMENTS
| Bertrand's [1845] postulate as proved by Chebyshev [1850] is versified: "Chebyshev said it, but I'll say it again; There's always a prime between n and 2n." [N. J. Fine in Schechter, 1998]. This sequence is the partial sum of the least such primes. It differs from A007504 "sum of first n primes" because of the repetitions in A007918.

FORMULA
| a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] A007918(n). a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] smallest prime >= i. a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] nextprime(i).

EXAMPLE
| a(50) = 2+ 2+ 2+ 3+ 5+ 5+ 7+ 7+ 11+ 11+ 11+ 11+ 13+ 13+ 17+ 17+ 17+ 17+ 19+ 19+ 23+ 23+ 23+ 23+ 29+ 29+ 29+ 29+ 29+ 29+ 31+ 31+ 37+ 37+ 37+ 37+ 37+ 37+ 41+ 41+ 41+ 41+ 43+ 43+ 47+ 47+ 47+ 47+ 53+ 53+ 53 = 1356.
