COMMENTS

Safe_Prime[i] denotes the i-th safe prime (A005385). Conjecture: a(n) is nonzero for all n, so every n can be represented as the difference between a prime and a partial sum of the safe primes series. See A066753 for a similar conjecture.

EXAMPLE

4 + (5 + 7 + 11 + 23 + 47) = 97, a prime and 5 consecutive safe primes, starting from the first safe prime 5, are needed to achieve this. Hence a(4) = 5.
