%N a(n) = smallest prime number p_k such that 1/p_n+1/p_{n+1}+...+1/p_k > 1.

%F a(n) is approximately p(n)^e.

%e a(2) = 29 because 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/11 + 1/13 + 1/17 + 1/19 + 1/23 + 1/29 = 1.0334... > 1 and 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/11 + 1/13 + 1/17 + 1/19 + 1/23 = 0.9989... < 1.

%o (PARI) a(n)=my(s=0.);forprime(p=prime(n),default(primelimit),s+=1/p;if(s>1,return(p)))
