COMMENTS

The Huntley reference would suggest prefixing the sequence with an initial 4 - Enoch Haga. [But that would conflict with the definition! - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 13 2009]

Sequence appears to coincide with the sequence of numbers n such that the largest prime < sqrt(n) and the smallest prime > sqrt(n) divide n. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 04 2002

This is true: p(n) < [ sqrt(a(n)) = sqrt(p(n)*p(n+1)) ] < p(n+1) by definition. - Jon Perry, Oct 02 2013

a(n+1) = smallest number such that gcd(a(n), a(n+1)) = prime(n+1). - Alexandre Wajnberg and Ray Chandler, Oct 14 2005

Also the area of rectangles whose side lengths are consecutive primes. E.g., the consecutive primes 7,11 produce a 7 X 11 unit rectangle which has area 77 square units. - Cino Hilliard, Jul 28 2006

a(n) = A001358(A172348(n)); A046301(n) = lcm(a(n), a(n+1)); A065091(n) = gcd(a(n), a(n+1)); A066116(n+2) = a(n+1)*a(n); A109805(n) = a(n+1) - a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 13 2011

See A209329 for the sum of the reciprocals. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 22 2013

A078898(a(n)) = 3. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 06 2015
