			C(C(C(C(C(8))))) = C(C(C(C(15)))) = C(C(C(25))) = C(C(38)) = C(55) = 77. So 77 is in the sequence.

  • Maple
    C := remove(isprime,[$4..1000]): seq(C[C[C[C[C[n]]]]],n=1..100);

Formula

Let C(n) be the n-th composite number, with C(1)=4. Then these are numbers C(C(C(C(C(n))))).

Comments

a(n) is also the smallest value of k at which b(k, n+1) - b(k, n) > 1.

Examples

			When n = 3, writing Composite(x) for A002808(x):
1. Composite(3) = 8. 8 + 1 = 9 = 3^2. 9 is not prime.
2. Composite(8) = 15. 15 + 1 = 16 = 2^4. 16 is not prime.
3. Composite(15) = 25. 25 + 1 = 26 = 2*13. 26 is not prime.
4. Composite(25) = 38. 38 + 1 = 39 = 3*13. 39 is not prime.
5. Composite(38) = 55. 55 + 1 = 56 = 2^3*7. 56 is not prime.
6. Composite(55) = 77. 77 + 1 = 78 = 2*3*13. 78 is not prime.
7. Composite(77) = 105. 105 + 1 = 106 = 2*53. 106 is not prime.
8. Composite(105) = 140. 140 + 1 = 141 = 3*47. 141 is not prime.
9. Composite(140) = 183. 183 + 1 = 184 = 2^3*23. 184 is not prime.
10. Composite(183) = 235. 235 + 1 = 236 = 2^2*59. 236 is not prime.
11. Composite(235) = 298. 298 + 1 = 299 = 13*23. 299 is not prime.
12. Composite(298) = 372. 372 + 1 = 373. 373 is prime.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Since the composite function was applied 12 times, a(3)=12.
