COMMENT
|
The primes in this entirely odd sequence begin 3, 7, 13, 19, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 73, 79, 97, 101. By the theorems in Banks, there are an infinite number of primes in this sequence.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 1+2*[n*Pi/2] = 1+2*floor(n*Pi/2).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(0) = 1 because 1 + 2*[0*Pi] = 1 + 2*0 = 1 + 0 = 1.
a(1) = 3 because 1 + 2*[1*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[1.5707963267948966192313216916] = 1 + 2*1 = 3.
a(2) = 7 because 1 + 2*[2*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[3.1415926535897932384626433832] = 1 + 2*3 = 7.
a(3) = 9 because 1 + 2*[3*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[4.7123889803846898576939650749] = 1 + 2*4 = 9.
a(4) = 13 because 1 + 2*[4*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[6.2831853071795864769252867665] = 1 + 2*6 = 13.
a(5) = 15 because 1 + 2*[5*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[7.8539816339744830961566084581] = 1 + 2*7 = 15.
a(7) = 21 because 1 + 2*[7*Pi/2] = 1 + 2*[10.995574287564276334619251841] = 1 + 2*10 = 21.
