COMMENT

Note the large prime gap of 72 between 31397 and 31469. This is the prime gap with the largest merit (cf. A111870), 72/log(31397)=6.95352 for primes less than 100000. Also 72/(log(31397))^2=0.67154 (cf. conjectures of Cramer-Granville, Shanks and Wolf) is largest for primes less than 100000. [From Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), Oct 23 2009]

EXAMPLE
|
a(0)=2 since the least prime greater than 0 is 2 (gap of 2 from 0 to 2.)
a(9)=4 since the least prime greater than 9 is 11 (gap of 4 from 7 to 11.)
a(11)=2 since the least prime greater than 11 is 13 (gap of 2 from 11 to 13.)
