%C A014688 Conjecture: this sequence contains an infinite number of primes (A061068), 
               yet contains arbitrarily long "prime deserts" such as the 11 composites 
               in A014688 between a(6) = 19 and a(18) = 79 and the 17 composites 
               in A014688 between a(48) = 271 and a(66) = 383. - Jonathan Vos Post

%C A014688 May be obtained by a sieve on the sequence of natural numbers. Starting 
               from n=1 delete the number corresponding to the alternate sum of 
               the preceding left numbers. Iterate with the successive left number. 
               First step n=1, k=1-0=1: delete the k.th number after n ->2. Move 
               to successive remaining number n=3. Then k=3-1+0=2: delete the k.th 
               number after n -> 5. Move to successive remaining number n=4. Then 
               k=4-3+1-0=2. After 4 we have 6,7,8... (5 deleted in previous step). 
               So delete n=7. And so on. - Paolo P. Lava & Giorgio Balzarotti (ppl(AT)spl.at),
