If that is the case, then it has an error. The sequence starts: 2, 3, 7, 113, 1129, 1327, 19609, 31397, 155921, 360653, 370261, 1357201, 4652353, 2010733... but you can see that 4652353 > 2010733, so in any case it should be listed after, not before it. But above that, its merit is 10.03 < 10.20, the merit of 2010733, so it is not in a mistaken position: it shouldn't appear on the sequence. %C A111870 The logarithmic (base 10) graph seems to be linearly asymptotic to n with slope ~ 1/log(10) which would imply that: log(prime with n_th record merit) ~ n as n goes to infinity. %D A111870 Ed Pegg, Jr. (edp(AT)wolfram.com), Posting to Seq Fan mailing list, Nov 23, 2005 %H A111870 Jens Kruse Andersen, Prime gaps %H A111870 Jens Kruse Andersen, Maximal gaps %H A111870 Thomas Nicely, Prime gaps %H A111870 Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Prime Gaps %e A111870 The first few entries correspond to the following gaps.
