COMMENT

Subsidiary sequence: First occurrence of a difference n between successive terms. Conjecture : the maximum value of a(k+1) - a(k) = 7 that too occurs only once for k = 2.( i.e. the subsediary sequence has only 7 terms.)

I conjecture than a(n+1)-a(n) is unbounded. The simplest way to get such a gap is to find n divisible by lcm(1,2,...,k) where n+1 has the same prime signature as n. I expect that such numbers exist, although they are likely to be quite large. (Since n-1 lacks small divisors, it is very likely to be in the sequence and so n is also very likely to be in the sequence.) Note that the sequence includes every prime except 3, 5 and 7. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jul 18 2006
