COMMENT

Follow same procedure that is used to produce the lucky numbers A000959 except use primes instead of natural numbers.

Start with natural numbers, apply sieve of Eratosthenes, then sieve of Ulam. This is an example of composition of sieve operators. Circa 1955, Polish mathematician Stanislaw Ulam (1909-1984) identified a particular sequence which he designated "lucky numbers," which share many properties with primes (density, equivalent of twin primes, equivalent of Goldbach's conjecture). Other "random primes" which generalize the lucky numbers not only almost always satisfy the prime number theorem but also the Riemann Hypothesis. What can be said about composition of such "random primes"? - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost2(AT)yahoo.com), May 08 2007
