%N Least a + b such that a*b = A002110(n), the product of the first n primes, where a, b are positive integers.

%C Original definition (not applicable for n = 0 and 1, but equivalent for n >= 2):

%C Let p(S) be product of integers in S. a(n) is minimum of p(S_1) + p(S_2) over all partitions of first n primes into sets S_1 and S_2.

%C Also: Least integer such that a(n)^2 - 4*A002110(n) is a square. - _David Broadhurst_, Sep 20 2011

%C The integers a,b are the two median divisors of primorial(n), a = A060795(n) = A060775(A002110(n)) and b = A060796(n) = A033677(A002110(n)). (For n = 0, a = b = 1 of course.) - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 20 2011

%F a(n) = A060795(n) + A060796(n). - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 20 2011

%F Conjecture: Limit_{N->oo} (Sum_{n=1..N} log(a(n)-2*sqrt(prime(n)#))) / (Sum_{n=1..N} prime(n)) = 2/e - 1/2 (i.e., A135002 - 1/2). - _Alain Rocchelli_, Nov 30 2023

%e a(3) = 11 = min{ 2*3 + 5 = 11, 2*5 + 3 = 13, 3*5 + 2 = 17 }

%e Or, a(3) = 11 = min { 1+30, 2+15, 3+10, 5+6 } because A002110(3) = 2*3*5 = 30 = 2*15 = 3*10 = 5*6.

%o (PARI) A182987(n)={if(n,vecsum(divisors(vecprod(primes(n)))[2^(n-1)..2^(n-1)+1]),2)} \\ Needs stack size >= 2^(n+6). - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 20 2011, edited Mar 24 2022

%o (PARI) A182987(n)={ n||return(2); my(m=prod(k=1,n,prime(k))); forstep(a=2*sqrtint(m)+1,m+2,2, issquare(a^2-4*m) & return(a)) } \\ Slow for n >= 28, but needs not much memory. - _M. F. Hasler_, following an idea from _David Broadhurst_, Sep 20 2011
