FORMULA

a(n) = A002110(n+1) - A002110(n) = A002110(n)*A006093(n+1).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = primorial(3) - primorial(2) = 30 - 6 = 24.

a(3) = primorial(4) - primorial(3) = 210 - 30 = 180.

MAPLE

p:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, ithprime(n)*p(n-1)) end:

a:= n-> p(n+1)-p(n):

seq(a(n), n=0..20); # Alois P. Heinz, Feb 23 2022
