COMMENTS

The number of n-digit primes < a(n) equals the number of n-digit primes > a(n). The median of an even number of values is understood to be defined as the arithmetic mean of the two central elements.

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..19.

FORMULA

a(n) = (prime(A006880(n-1) + ceiling(A006879(n)/2)) + prime(A006880(n-1) + floor(A006879(n)/2) + 1)) / 2.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 4 because {2, 3, 5, 7} are the 4 one-digit primes. The 2 central elements of the sorted list are 3 and 5. 4 = (3 + 5)/2.

a(2) = 47 because it is the central element of the sorted list of the A006879(2) = 21 two-digit primes. There are 10 such primes < 47 and 10 such primes > 47.
