COMMENTS
It is obvious that the terms occur in increasing order, since the mean increases by (prime(n)-prime(n-10))/10 when going to the 10 primes which include prime(n) as largest term. However, differences of 6, as e.g. between the terms a(n)=9813497 and a(n+1)=9813503 (= average of prime(653096) through prime(653105)), seem to occur infinitely often. Is this true, and is this the smallest such step? - M. F. Hasler, Oct 21 2012
Also difference 5 seems to occur infinitely often. For first 200000 differences, values 5..10 occur 5, 57, 123, 400, 1755, 1439 times. Apparently all differences >4 occur infinitely often. - Zak Seidov, May 22 2015
EXAMPLE
a(1) is derived from (prime(6)+...+prime(15))/10 = (13+ 17+ 19+ 23+ 29+ 31+ 37+ 41+ 43+ 47)/10=30.
