a(1) = p(1) = 2 and a(n) = a(n-1)-p(n) if positive and new, otherwise a(n) = a(n-1)+p(n), where p(n) is the n-th prime. |

COMMENT
|
'Recaman transform' (see A005132) of the prime sequence.
Does every positive integer appear in the sequence? This seems unlikely, since 4 has not appeared in 70000 terms.
Note: this is similar to Clark Kimberling's A022831, with the added requirement that there be no repeated terms - in other words, A022831 has the above definition with the words 'and new' deleted.

EXAMPLE
|
To find a(9) we try subtracting the 9th prime, which is 23, from a(8), which is 37. 37 - 23 = 14, but 14 is already in the sequence (it is a(5)), so we must add. a(9) = 37 + 23 = 60.
