A262775 For a(n+1), sift out all numbers congruent to a(n-1) mod a(n) except for a(n-1); a(0)=0, a(1)=2. 3

%I #35 Apr 19 2016 02:35:09

%S 0,2,3,7,9,13,15,19,21,27,33,37,39,49,51,55,57,63,67,69,81,85,99,105,

%T 109,111,117,121,123,127,135,141,147,153,175,177,189,195,201,207,211,

%N For a(n+1), sift out all numbers congruent to a(n-1) mod a(n) except for a(n-1); a(0)=0, a(1)=2.

%C A sifted set generated by a sieve similar to the sieve of Eratosthenes.

%F a(0)=0, a(1)=2; for n>1, a(n) is the smallest integer k>a(n-1) such that k≠≠a(j) mod a(j-1) for all j<n.

%e a(0)=0 and a(1)=2, so after 2, sift out the even numbers. The next remaining number after 2 is 3, so a(2)=3. Then sift out all numbers k==2 (mod 3), except for 2. The next remaining number is 7, so sift out all numbers k==3 (mod 7), except for 3.

%Y Cf. A000040, A000959, A000960, A003309.

%K nonn

%O 0,2
