FORMULA

From Halberstam and Richert : a(n)<(8+0(1))*c(n)*n/ln(n)^2 where c(n)=prod(p>2,(1-1/(p-1)^2))*prod(p|n,p>2,(p-1)/(p-2)). It is conjectured that the factor 8 can be replaced by 2. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 16 2002

a(n) = ceil(A035026(n) / 2) = (A035026(n) + A010051(n)) / 2.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Length[Select[2n - Prime[Range[PrimePi[n]]], PrimeQ]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 100}] (Paul Abbott, Jan 11 2005)

nn = 10^2; ps = Boole[PrimeQ[Range[1, 2*nn, 2]]]; Join[{0, 1}, Table[Sum[ps[[i]] ps[[n-i+1]], {i, Ceiling[n/2]}], {n, 3, nn}]] (* T. D. Noe, Apr 13 2011 *)

CROSSREFS

A002375 (which differs only at the n=2 term) is the main entry for this sequence.

A023036 is the first appearance of n and A000954 is the last (assumed) appearance of n.
