Comments

First numbers removed by each lucky number in the lucky number sieve. - This is the original definition of the sequence, still valid from a(2) onward.

a(1) = 2, because at the first stage of Lucky sieve, all even numbers are removed, of which 2 is the first one. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 26 2015

Formula

From Antti Karttunen, Feb 26 2015: (Start)

a(n) = A255543(n,1).

Other identities.

For all n >= 2, a(n) = A255553(A001248(n)).

Example

1 and 2 are a special case in the lucky number sieve, (1 is the lucky number, but every 2nd element is removed) so are ignored [in the original version of the sequence, which started from a(2). Now we have a(1) = 2. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 26 2015]. The 2nd lucky number, 3, removes { 5, 11, ... } from the list, so a(2) = 5. The 3rd lucky number, 7, removes { 19, 39, ... } from the list, so a(3)=19.

Mathematica

rows = 52; cols = 1; L = 2 Range[0, 10^4] + 1; A = Join[{2 Range[cols]}, Reap[For[n = 2, n <= rows, r = L[[n++]]; L0 = L; L = ReplacePart[L, Table[r i -> Nothing, {i, 1, Length[L]/r}]]; Sow[Complement[L0, L][[1 ;; cols]]]]][[2, 1]]]; Table[A[[n, 1]], {n, 1, rows}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 15 2016 *)
