COMMENT

Can be generated quickly by modified sieve of Eratosthenes. Note that eliminating numbers that equal zero mod any previous number is exactly the sieve of Eratosthenes and generates the primes; eliminating numbers that equal one mod any previous number just gives the even numbers.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=13 because the smaller numbers after a(3)=7 are eliminated: 8=2 (mod 2 or 3), 9=2 (mod 7), 10=2 (mod 2), 11=2 (mod 3), 12=2 (mod 2).

PROGRAM

(Python: replace leading dots by blanks before running)

.def A076974():

... D = {}

... q = 2

... while True:

....... if q not in D:

........... yield q

........... D.setdefault(q+2, []).append(q)

....... else:

........... for p in D[q]:

............... D.setdefault(p+q, []).append(p)

........... del D[q]

....... q += 1
