COMMENTS
| Comments from Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jan 22 2006 (Start): This sequence is the k=3 case of the family of sequences a(k,n) = prime(n+k) - prime(n). See A001223 and A031131 for k = 1 and 2.
The records in this sequence give A115401. The minimal value, after the anomalous initial values (5, 8, 8), is 8 which occurs iff n is an element of A007530 (prime quadruples: numbers n such that n, n+2, n+6, n+8 are all prime). (End)

FORMULA
| a(n) = prime(n+3) - prime(n). a(n) = A000040(n+3) - A000040(n). - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jan 22 2006

EXAMPLE
| a(1) = prime(4) - prime(1) = 7 - 2 = 5, which is the only odd element of this sequence.
a(2) = prime(5) - prime(2) = 11 - 3 = 8.
a(3) = prime(6) - prime(3) = 13 - 5 = 8.
a(4) = prime(7) - prime(4) = 17 - 7 = 10.
a(99) = prime(102) - prime(99) = 557 - 523 = 34. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jan 22 2006
