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, contains also a prime less than p. The sequence is connected with the following classification of primes: two first primes 2,3 form a separate set of primes; let p>=5 be in interval(2p_k, 2p_(k+1)), then 1)if in this interval there are primes only more than p, then p is called a right prime; 2)if in this interval there are primes only less than p, then p is called a left prime;

3)if in this interval there are prime more 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) more than 2 are either right or central primes; the left primes form sequence A166308, and all Labos primes (A080359) more than 3 are either left or central primes; the central primes form A166252 and the isolated primes form A166251.

FORMULA

{A080359} union {A164294} = {this sequence} union {2,3}. - Vladimir Shevelev, Oct 29 2011

A164368(2)<a(1) < A164368(3)<a(2) < A164368(4)<a(3)<... [From Vladimir Shevelev, Oct 10 2009]

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. [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Oct 10 2009]
