(PARI) (CSR(v, s)=forstep(i=#v, 1, -1, s=sqrt(v[i]+s)); s); a=[3]; for(n=1, 50, print1(a[#a]", "); for(i=primepi(a[#a])+1, oo, CSR(concat(a, vector(9, j, prime(i+j))))>=exp(1)&& (a=concat(a, prime(i)))&& break)) \\ The standard precision of 38 digits yields incorrect terms beyond 10433. Increase realprecision to compute larger values. - M. F. Hasler, May 03 2018
