COMMENTS
Prime(k) such that prime(k) - prime(k-1) > prime(k+1) - prime(k). -Juri-Stepan Gerasimov,Jan 01 2011
a(n) >A051635(n). -Thomas Ordowski,Jul 25 2012
The inequality above is false. The least counterexample is a(19799) = 496283 <A051635(19799) = 496291. -Amiram Eldar,Nov 26 2023
Conjecture: Limit_{N->oo} Sum_{n=1..N} (NextPrime(a(n))-a(n)) / a(N) = 1/4. [A heuristic proof is available at primepuzzles.net - Conjecture 91] -Alain Rocchelli,Nov 14 2022
A131499is a subsequence. -Davide Rotondo,Oct 16 2023

FORMULA
Conjecture: Limit_{n->oo} n / PrimePi(a(n)) = 1/2. -Alain Rocchelli,Mar 17 2024
EXAMPLE
11 belongs to the sequence because 11 > (7 + 13)/2.
