Comments

For a prime p >= 5 whose prime-index is m, the a056240-type of p is defined to be the unique integer k such that A288814(p) = prime(m-k)*A056240(prime(m)-prime(m-k)).

In other words, k is such that prime(n-k) is the greatest prime divisor of the smallest composite number whose sum of prime factors (taken with multiplicity) is prime(n).

The sequence lists the smallest prime of each successive a056240-type.

In the Examples section, the a056240-type k (=a(k)) of a prime p = prime(m) is indicated by p ~ k(g1,g2,...,gk) where gi = prime(m - i + 1) - prime(m - i). See also A295185.

For the values of the a056240-types of the primes 2, 3, 5, 7, ... see A299912. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 10 2018

Example

a(1) = 5 since 6 = 3 * 2, the smallest composite number whose prime divisors add to 5, is a multiple of 3, the greatest prime < 5, so k=1; 5 ~ 1(2).
a(2) = 211 since 6501 = 3 * 11 * 197, the smallest composite whose prime divisors add to 211, and 197 < 199 < 211 is the second prime below 211, so k=2, and 211 ~ 2(12,2), and since no smaller prime has this property, a(2)=211.
a(3) = 4327 since 526809 = 3 * 41 * 4283, the smallest composite whose prime divisors add to 4327, and 4283 < 4289 < 4297 < 4327 is the third prime below 4327, so k=3, 4327 ~ 3(30,8,6) and since no smaller prime has this property, a(3)=4327. Likewise,
