Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(n) is the number from which if odd-positioned digits are deleted then one gets the concatenation of first n prime numbers, while if even-positioned digits are deleted then one gets reverse concatenation of first n prime numbers. Position of least significant digit is considered to be 1.
