Examples

			n=4: in range {p(4)=11 and c(4)=10} 1 prime was found, a(4)=1; n=25: in range {p(25)=97 and c(25)=38} 13 primes, {41,43,..,97} were found, so a(25)=13.

c[x_] := FixedPoint[x+PrimePi[ # ]+1&, x] Table[PrimePi[c[w]]-w+1, {w, 1, 4}] Table[w-PrimePi[c[w]], {w, 5, 128}]

Formula

a(n)=A000720[A000040(n)]-A000720[A002808(n)], for n>=5; a(n)=A000720[A002808(n)]-n+1 for n=1, 2, 3, 4.
