COMMENTS

a(n) = {1} UNION {permutation of even positive numbers}. The corresponding partial sums + 1 are 3, 5, 11, 19, 23, 37, 47, 59, 79, 97, 113, 137, 163, 191, 223.

FORMULA

a(n) = MIN{k>0 such that 2 + k + SUM[i=1..n-1]a(i) is prime and k <> a(i)}.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 because 1+2 = 3 is prime.

a(2) = 2 because 1+2+2 = 5 is prime.

a(3) = 6 because 1+2+6+2 = 11 is prime.

a(4) = 8 because 1+2+6+8+2 = 19 is prime.

a(5) = 4 because 1+2+6+8+4+2 = 23 is prime.
