It is easy to prove that for any 3 consecutive primes p1,p2,p3, a(n) always lies between p2 and p3.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..58.

Example

For the first 3 prime numbers, go up 2, go right 3 and go down 5. Connecting the figure to form a right trapezoid we have the slanted side = sqrt(18). The integer part of this is 4, the first term of the sequence.

Prog

(PARI) g(n) = { for(x=1, n, p1=prime(x); p2=prime(x+1); p3=prime(x+2); y=p3-p1; print1(floor(sqrt(p2^2+y^2)), ", ")) )
