Previous name: "Smallest number m such that A258383(m) = n" was not ok. For instance, for a(1) the smallest m such that A258383(m)=1 is 5, then we have to sum up the first 5 terms 2+2+2+2+1 to get 9, as shown in the example table (whose 2nd and 3rd column names I edited too).

Note that prime([302, 332, 465460]) = [1997, 2237, 6824897] which is a subsequence of A090807. Then one can verify that primepi(1356705137 = A090807(7)) = 67928439 and primepi(3637803390827 = A090807(8)) = 130463972798 are good candidates for a(6) and a(7). a(6) has been confirmed by program.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..6.

Formula

A258383(a(n)) = n and A258383(m) != n for m < a(n);

let m = A258432(a(n)): A062234(m) = A062234(m-1+k) for k = 1..n.

Example

   n |   f(n) | a(n) = A258432(f(n)) |     Run in A062234
  ---+--------+----------------------+--------------------------
   1 |      5 |       9 = A258469(1) | [17]
   2 |      1 |       1 = A257762(1) | [1, 1]
   3 |    265 |     302 = A258449(1) | [1995, 1995, 1995]
   4 |    290 |     332 = A257892(1) | [2235, 2235, 2235, 2235]
