COMMENTS
A prime labeling of K_{m,n} is a pair of sets A and B whose union is {1,2,...,m+n} such that |A| = m, |B| = n, and gcd(a,b) = 1 for all a in A and b in B. For an equivalent definition, the data above, and the formula below involving R_{n-1}, see Berliner, Dean, Hook, Marr, Mbirika (2016) Section 3.2.

FORMULA
n+1 <= a(n) <= R_{n-1} - n for n > 2, where R_{n-1} is a Ramanujan prime A104272.
EXAMPLE
A = {1,3} and B = {2,4} is a prime labeling of K_{2,2}, so a(2) = 2.
