COMMENT

Cf. A109277 fastest increasing sequence.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2, sum(1)=2; prime closest to sum is 2, hence a(2)=2, sum(2)=4; there are two primes 3 and 5 closest to sum(2), we choose the smallest one, hence a(3)=3, sum(3)=7, etc.

MATHEMATICA

s={2}; su=2; Do[If[PrimeQ[su], a=su, pp=PrimePi[su]; prv=Prime[pp]; nxt=Prime[pp+1]; a=If[su-prv>nxt-su, nxt, prv]]; AppendTo[s, a]; Print[a]; su+=a, {i, 42}]; s
