Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(n) is the first odd prime greater than a(n-1) such that (a(1), ..., a(n)) forms a prime vector. a(1)=3, a(2)=5.

%C A prime vector of order n is an array of n distinct primes P = (p_1, p_2, ..., p_n) such that every sum of an odd number of consecutive elements is also prime. The weight of the prime vector is the sum of its elements. For full details see the Kamenetsky paper.

%C a(1)-a(24) were found by Herbert Kociemba.
