Table of n, a(n) for n=0..71.

Formula

a(n) = p_n - p_{n-1} when n>1, where a(0)=a(1)=1.

Example

a(10) = p_10 +p_8 +p_6 +p_4 +p_2 +p_0 = 29 + 19 + 13 +7 +3 + 1 = 72.

Mathematica

a[n_ /; n <= 2] = 1; a[_?EvenQ] = 0; a[n_] := a[n] = Prime[(n + 1)/2] - a[n - 2]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 71}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Aug 01 2013 *)
