Comments

Up to n=10, a(n) is the upper end of the first gap of length n. However, for n=11 through n=16, a(n) is the upper end of the first gap of length n+1. See A020753. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 28 2015

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..18.

Formula

a(n) = A020754(n) + A020753(n). - M. F. Hasler, Dec 28 2015

Example

The first gap in A005117 occurs between 1 and 2 and has length 1. The next largest gap occurs between 3 and 5 and has length 2. The next largest gap is between 7 and 10 and has length 3. Etc. We are only interested in gaps that set new records.
