Apply P(2) to 1,2,3,... to get PS(2), then apply P(3) to PS(2) to get PS(3), then apply P(4) to PS(3), etc. The limit of PS(n) is b(n). Let c(n) = b(A000040(n) + 1), then a(n) = c(n-1) for n > 1 with a single exception at n = 5. - _Mikhail Kurkov_, May 11 2022 %e A073818 For n = 5, we take the first 5 primes in ascending order and multiply them by the numbers from 5 to 1 in descending order: 2*5 = 10 3*4 = 12 5*3 = 15 7*2 = 14 11*1 = 11. The largest product is 15, so a(5) = 15. %o A073818 (PARI) a(n) = {ret = 0; for (i=1, n, ret = max (ret, prime(i)*(n+1-i));); return (ret);} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Jun 16 2013 %Y A073818 Cf.
