Comments

a(n) is also the area under the curve of the function pi(x) from prime(n) to prime(n+1), see the illustration of initial terms. This sequence is also the first differences of A152535. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 13 2013

Formula

a(n) = n*(A000040(n+1)-A000040(n)) = n*A001223(n).

a(n) = n*(1 + A046933(n)). [Omar E. Pol, Nov 16 2008]

Example

a(5)=10 because the 5th prime is 11 and the 6th prime is 13. The 5th gap between primes is 2, then a(5)=5*2=10.

Maple

P:= [seq(ithprime(i), i=1..1001)]:
