The Ramanujan primes possess the following property:
If p = prime(n) > 2, then all numbers (p+1)/2, (p+3)/2, ..., (prime(n+1)-1)/2 are composite.
The sequence equals all primes with this property, whether Ramanujan or not.
All Ramanujan primes A104272 are in the sequence.
Every lesser of twin primes (A001359), beginning with 11, is in the sequence. [From Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 31 2009]
109 is the first non-Ramanujan prime in this sequence.
A very simple sieve for the generation of the terms is the following: let p_0=1 and, for n>=1, p_n be the n-th prime. Consider consecutive intervals of the form (2p_n, 2p_{n+1}), n=0,1,2,... From every interval containing at least one prime we remove the last one. Then all remaining primes form the sequence. Let us demonstrate this sieve: For p_n=1,2,3,5,7,11,... consider intervals (2,4), (4,6), (6,10), (10,14), (14,22), (22,26), (26,34), ... . Removing from the set of all primes the last prime of each interval, i.e., 3,5,7,13,19,23,31,... we obtain 2,11,17,29, etc. - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 30 2011
This sequence and A194598 are the mutually wrapping up sequences:
A194598(1) <= a(1) <= A194598(2) <= a(2) <= ...
