Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A176887
Let A001358(n) = prime(m)*prime(k). Then a(n) = abs(prime(m)*k - prime(k)*m).

COMMENTS
The sequence is defined by considering first m<=k, adding the difference prime(m)*k-prime(k)*m to the sequence if >=0, then considering for the same semiprime m>=k, and adding the difference also to the sequence if >=0 and if different from the previous swapped case. - R. J. Mathar, May 06 2010
EXAMPLE
a(1)=0 because prime(1)*1-prime(1)*1=2-2=0; a(2)=1 because prime(1)*2-prime(2)*1=4-3=1.
