COMMENTS

Starting at the second prime 3, solutions are obtained to the Equation

x+y*n=Prime[m-1]

or

n=(Prime[m-1]+x)/y

Either n*Prime[m]/or n*Prime[m+1] is an Integer.

using the Wagon Diophantine solver Module for n and then the specific prime that it is a rational number of is multiplied out to give an Integer.

The resulting numbers are made positive and sorted for magnitude

to give the output sequence.

This sequence is an effort to get some sequence related by the primes:

{Prime[m-1],Prime[m],Prime[m+1]}

by

Prime[m]x+Prime[m+1]*y=Prime[m-1]

FORMULA

a[out]=Abs[If[ IntegerQ[n*Prime[m+1]],n*Prime[m+1] else n*Prime[m]]] where n is a rational number: n=(Prime[m-1]+x)/y Sequence is sorted by magnitude.
