Let c(m)=prime(m), m=1,2,3,4. For m>=5, suppose that c(m)/e is in the interval [c(k),c(k+1)). Then let c(m+1)=e*c(k+1) if e*c(k+1) < prime(m+1), and otherwise let c(m+1) = prime(m+1). Then a(n) is the n-th prime in {c(m)}.

COMMENTS
The preliminary sequence begins 2,3,5,7,3*e,13,5*e,19,7*e,3*e^2,31,...
with terms of the form p*e^k, where p is prime, k>=0.
FORMULA
If A(n)is the number of terms not exceeding n, then heuristically A(n)~pi(n). Practically, an approximation is given by formula A(n) ~ n/log(n*log(n)).
