A057673 Smallest prime p such that |2^n - p| is a prime. 3

%I #20 Nov 29 2021 01:39:29

%N Smallest prime p such that |2^n - p| is a prime.

%C The absolute value is relevant only for first two terms, 2^0-a(0) = 1-3 = -2, 2^1-a(1) = 2-5 = -3. According to Goldbach's conjecture, every even number > 2 is the sum of two primes, which implies that for all further terms, a(n) < 2^n. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 13 2011

%e n=7, 2^n=128. The smallest terms subtracted from 128 resulting in a prime are 1,15,19,... Neither 1 nor 15 are primes but 19 is a prime. It gives 109=128-19, so a(n)=19.
