Comments

a(1) = 1, a(n) = A014688(n-1) = (n-1)-th prime + n - 1 for n >= 2. a(n) = A090178(n) - 1 = n-th noncomposite number + n - 1 for n >= 2.

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

Formula

a(1) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + A008578(n+1) - A008578(n) + 1 for n >= 2. a(1) = 1, a(2) = 3, a(n) = a(n-1) + A001223(n) + 1 for n >= 3. a(1) = 1, a(n) = n - 1 + A000040(n-1) = n - 1 + A008578(n) = n - 1 + A158611(n+1) for n >= 2.

Example

A008578(4) = 5, so a(4) = 8 = 5th highest positive integer not equal to 1, 3, or 5 (the values of a(k), 1 <= k <= 3).
