a(n) = n*p(n+1)-(n+1)*p(n) = n*d(n)-p(n), where p(n) is the n-th prime and d(n) is the n-th prime-difference, A001223(n).

A sequence based on the solution of the equation: 1+(1+n)*prime(n)/x-n*prime(n+1)/x=0 for x. This is an irrational rotation-like sequence: the sequence is similar to a Beatty sequence. - Roger L. Bagula, Jun 06 2002

EXAMPLE
|
n = 10: a(10) = 10*31-11*29 = 310-319 = -9;
n = 54: a(54) = 54*257-55*251 = 13878-13805 = 73;
n = 55: a(55) = 55*263-56*257 = 14465-14392 = 73; consecutive terms are often equal to each other.
