COMMENTS
Let p_k be the k-th prime. A prime p is in the sequence iff the interval of the form (2p_k, 2p_(k+1)), containing p, also contains a prime less than p. The sequence is connected with the following classification of primes: the first two primes 2,3 form a separate set of primes; let p >= 5 be in the interval (2p_k, 2p_(k+1)), then 1) if in this interval there are only primes greater than p, then p is called a right prime; 2) if in this interval there are only primes less than p, then p is called a left prime; 3) if in this interval there are primes both greater and less than p, then p is called a central prime; 4) if this interval does not contain other primes, then p is called an isolated prime. In particular, the right primes form sequence A166307, and all Ramanujan primes (A104272) greater than 2 are either right or central primes; the left primes form sequence A182365, and all Labos primes (A080359) greater than 3 are either left or central primes; the central primes form A166252 and the isolated primes form A166251.

EXAMPLE
Let p=53. We see that 2*23<53<2*29. Since the interval (46, 58) contains prime 47<53 and does not contain any prime more than 53, then, by the considered classification 53 is left prime and it is in the sequence. [Vladimir Shevelev, Oct 10 2009]
