COMMENT

A020497(n) purportedly gives the least k with c(k) = n, where c()=A023193; that is, A020497 should be the "least inverse" of A023193.

My web page extends the sequence to rho(305)=2047 and also gives a super-dense occurrence at rho(592)=4333 when pi(4333)=591 - the first known occurrence. - Thomas J Engelsma (tom(AT)opertech.com), Feb 16 2004

Tomas Oliveira e Silva (see link) has a table extending to n = 1000.
