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”).

EXAMPLE
Primes 18 and 19 are 61 and 67, and the interval (62, 63, 64, 65, 66) contains the prime-power 64, so 18 is not in the sequence.

CROSSREFS
The interval from A008864(n) to A006093(n+1) has A046933(n) elements.
For powers of 2 instead of primes see A013597, A014210, A014234, A244508, A304521.
The nearest prime-power before prime(n)-1 is A065514, difference A377289.
These are the positions of 0 in A080101, or 1 in A366833.
The nearest prime-power after prime(n)+1 is A345531, difference A377281.
For at least one prime-power we have A377057.
For one instead of no prime-powers we have A377287.
For two instead of no prime-powers we have A377288.
A000015 gives the least prime-power >= n.
A000040 lists the primes, differences A001223.
A000961 lists the powers of primes, differences A057820.
A031218 gives the greatest prime-power <= n.
A246655 lists the prime-powers not including 1, complement A361102.
