Comments

Define a 2-based sum S(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} (2 - (-1)^i*i) = 2*n - (-1)^n*A152832(n).

a(n) is this sum evaluated at A141468(n).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{x=0..n-th nonprime} (2 - x*(-1)^x). - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Jul 28 2009

Example

a(1) = 2 - 0*(-1)^0 = 2.
a(2) = 2 - 0*(-1)^0 + 2 - 1*(-1)^1 = 2 + 3 = 5.
a(3) = 2 - 0*(-1)^0 + 2 - 1*(-1)^1 + 2 - 2*(-1)^2 + 2 - 3*(-1)^3 + 2 - 4*(-1)^4 = 2 + 3 + 0 + 5 - 2 = 8.

Maple
