COMMENTS

a(4) = -4 is the only negative value. All values are even. Asymptotically a(n) ~ (n log n)^2 - (n^2) log (n^2) = (n^2)*(log n)^2 - 2*(n^2)*(log n) = (n^2)*((log n)^2 - 2*log n) = O((n^2)*(log n)^2) which is the same as the asymptotic of commutator [primes,triangular numbers] at n, or, for that matter commutator [primes,k-gonal numbers] at n for any k>2.

FORMULA

a(n) = A001248(n) - A011757(n). a(n) = commutator [A000040,A000290] at n. a(n) = A000040(A000290(n)) - A000290(A000040(n)). a(n) = square(prime(n)) - prime(square(n)).

EXAMPLE

a(1) = (prime(1))^2 - prime(1^2) = prime(1)^2 - prime(1^2) = 4 - 2 = 2.

a(2) = (prime(2))^2 - prime(2^2) = prime(2)^2 - prime(2^2) = 9 - 7 = 2.

a(3) = (prime(3))^2 - prime(3^2) = prime(3)^2 - prime(3^2) = 25 - 23 = 2.

a(4) = (prime(4))^2 - prime(4^2) = prime(4)^2 - prime(4^2) = 49 - 53 = -4.

a(5) = (prime(5))^2 - prime(5^2) = prime(5)^2 - prime(5^2) = 121 - 97 = 24.
