EXAMPLE

The sixth prime is 13d = 1101b -> -(1)+(1)-(0)+(1) = 1 = a(6)

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := (d = Reverse[ IntegerDigits[n, 2]]; l = Length[d]; s = 0; k = 1; While[k < l + 1, s = s - (-1)^k*d[[k]]; k++ ]; s); Table[ Prime[ f[n]], {n, 1, 100} ]

PROGRAM

(PARI) baseE(x, b)= { local(d, e=0, f=1); while (x>0, d=x-b*(x\b); x\=b; e+=d*f; f*=10); return(e) } SumAD(x)= { local(a=1, s=0); while (x>9, s+=a*(x-10*(x\10)); x\=10; a=-a); return(s + a*x) } { for (n=1, 1000, p=prime(n); s=SumAD(baseE(p, 2)); write("b065081.txt", n, " ", s) ) } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Oct 06 2009]
