COMMENT

Condition gcd(a(n),n+1) = 1 ensures that a(n+1) exists.

Primes arising as absolute first differences are given in A096878.

For corresponding sequence starting (more naturally) at 1 see A096879.

EXAMPLE

a(8) has to be a multiple of 8; 80 is the smallest one that satisfies all conditions: 80 is coprime to 9, abs(a(7) - 80) = 73 is prime and distinct from all earlier absolute differences 2, 5, 3, 7, 13, 11. Hence a(8) = 80.

a(9) has to be a multiple of 9; 9 is the smallest one that satisfies all conditions: 9 is coprime to 10, abs(a(8) - 9) = 71 is prime and distinct from all earlier absolute differences 2, 5, 3, 7, 13, 11, 73. Hence a(9) = 9.

PROGRAM

(PARI) {print1(a=2, ", "); v=Set([]); for(n=2, 63, k=1; b=1; while(b, m=k*n; p=abs(m-a); if(gcd(m, n+1)==1&&isprime(p)&&setsearch(v, p)==0, v=setunion(v, Set(p)); print1(m, ", "); a=m; b=0, k++)))}
