COMMENT

Log(a(n)) =~ -1.295 + 0.964312n. - Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Jan 25 2002

Numbers n such that Prime(n) (mod n) begins the next cycle of terms in A004648. Generally Prime(i) (mod i) exceeds Prime(i-1) (mod i-1) but there are numerous times where for a short run Prime(i) (mod i) is minimally less than its predecessor. Here n is substantially less. See Labos's graph.
