COMMENTS

Apparently A168425 and the 2. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 25 2011

An odd prime p is in the sequence iff the previous prime is Ramanujan. The Ramanujan primes and the Ramanujan primes of the second kind are the mutually wrapping up sequences: a(1)<=R_1<=a(2)<=R_2<=a(3)<=R_3<=.... . - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 29 2011

All terms of the sequence are in A194598. - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 30 2011

FORMULA

A080359(n) <= a(n) <= A104272(n) = R_n (Cf. A194184, A194186).

a(n)>p_(2*n-1); a(n)~p_{2n} (Cf. properties of R_n in A104272 and the above comment). - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 28 2011

EXAMPLE

Since R_2=11 (see A104272), then for x >= 11, we have pi(x) - pi(x/2) >= 2. However, if to consider only prime x, then we see that, for x=7,5,3, pi(x) - pi(x/2)= 2, but pi(2) - pi(1)= 1. Therefore, already for prime x>=3, we have pi(x) - pi(x/2) >= 2. Thus a(2)=3.
