COMMENT

Rowland proves that each term is prime. He says it is likely that all odd primes occur.
In the first 5000 terms, there are 965 unique primes and 397 is the least odd prime that does not appear. - T. D. Noe, Mar 01 2008
In the first 10000 terms, the least odd prime that does not appear is 587, according to Rowland. [From Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Aug 14 2008]

EXAMPLE
|
f(n) = 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 18, 19, 20, ..., so f(n) - f(n-1) = 1, 1, 1, 5, 3, 1, 1, ... and a(n) = 5, 3, ... .
