%N Sum of the first n primes.
%C It appears that a(n)^2 - a(n-1)^2 = A034960(n). - _Gary Detlefs_, Dec 20 2011
%C This is true. Proof: By definition we have A034960(n) = Sum_{k = (a(n-1)+1)..a(n)} (2*k-1). Since Sum_{k = 1..n} (2*k-1) = n^2, it follows A034960(n) = a(n)^2 - a(n-1)^2, for n > 1. - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Sep 27 2012 [formulas above adjusted to changed offset of A034960 - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Oct 14 2012]
%C Row sums of the triangle in A037126. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 01 2012
%C Ramanujan noticed the apparent identity between the prime parts partition numbers A000607 and the expansion of Sum_{k >= 0} x^a(k)/((1-x)...(1-x^k)), cf. A046676. See A192541 for the difference between the two. - _M. F. Hasler_, Mar 05 2014
%C For n > 0: row 1 in A254858. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 08 2015
%C a(n) is the smallest number that can be partitioned into n distinct primes. - _Alonso del Arte_, May 30 2017
%C For a(n) < m < a(n+1), n > 0, at least one m is a perfect square.
%C Proof: For n = 1, 2, ..., 6, the proposition is clear. For n > 6, a(n) < ((prime(n) - 1)/2)^2, set (k - 1)^2 <= a(n) < k^2 < ((prime(n) + 1)/2)^2, then k^2 < (k - 1)^2 + prime(n) <= a(n) + prime(n) = a(n+1), so m = k^2 is this perfect square. - _Jinyuan Wang_, Oct 04 2018
%C For n >= 5 we have a(n) < ((prime(n)+1)/2)^2. This can be shown by noting that ((prime(n)+1)/2)^2 - ((prime(n-1)+1)/2)^2 - prime(n) = (prime(n)+prime(n-1))*(prime(n)-prime(n-1)-2)/4 >= 0. - _Jianing Song_, Nov 13 2022
%C Washington gives an oscillation formula for |a(n) - pi(n^2)|, see links. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 07 2022

%F For n >= 3, a(n) >= (n-1)^2 * (log(n-1) - 1/2)/2 and a(n) <= n*(n+1)*(log(n) + log(log(n))+ 1)/2. Thus a(n) = n^2 * log(n) / 2 + O(n^2*log(log(n))). It is more precise than in Fares's comment. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Aug 01 2013
%F a(n) = (n^2/2)*(log n + log log n - 3/2 + (log log n - 3)/log n + (2 (log log n)^2 - 14 log log n + 27)/(4 log^2 n) + O((log log n/log n)^3)) [Sinha]. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 11 2015
