%N a(1)=2, a(2)=3. For n>2 a(n) is the sum of the prime factors (with repetition) of a(n-1) + a(n-2).

%C The same principle can be used to generate a family of sequences for integers m>2: a(1)=2, a(2)=3,...a(m)=m+1 and for all n > m, a(n) is the sum of the prime factors (with repetition) of the preceding m terms.

%C Example, m=3 : 2, 3, 4, 6, 13, 23, 12, 11, 25, 11, 47, 83, 50, 15, 41, 55, 40, 23,..

%C m=4 : 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12, 11, 25, 12, 12, 12, 61, 97, 22, 15, ..

%C Starting from a(17) the sequence is periodic with period 10, 10, 9, 19, 11. - _Giovanni Resta_, May 15 2016
