%N Primes that are between consecutive prime-indexed primes.

%C Conjecture: For x > 1 there is at least 1 prime between prime(prime(x)) and prime(prime(x+1)).

%C This conjecture is equivalent to saying that there is at least one prime index between prime(x) and prime(x+1), which is trivially true because both are odd for x > 1; one has prime(prime(x)) < prime(prime(x)+1) < prime(prime(x+1)). Obviously the definition is equivalent to "primes > 2 with nonprime index", i.e., sequence A007821 without the initial 2. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 31 2015

%H Harvey P. Dale, <a href="/A088982/b088982.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..5000</a>

%F Primes p such that prime(prime(x)) < p < prime(prime(x+1)).

%F a(n) = prime(composite(n)) = A000040(A002808(n)). - _Terry D. Grant_, Aug 16 2016

%e Prime(prime(4)) = 17 and prime(prime(5) = 31 and 19,23,29 are between 17 and 31, so 19, 23 and 29 are members.
