A137609 Consider a line in n-space given parametrically by y(t)=v*t, where v is the vector (2,3,5,..prime(n)). Let t0>0 be the least value of t such that y(t0) is closest to an integer point not on the line y(t). a(n) is t0 times v.v.

Comments

See A059804 for the distance from y(t0) to the integer point. Observe that for n >= 19, a(n) = prime(n). For n >= 19, the closest integer point is (0,0,0,..,0,1).
