COMMENTS

Unfortunately, it appears that the entries are all conjectural. I am not aware of any proofs that the listed numbers can never appear. The terms shown are those listed by Pickover. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Jun 19 2008

a(7)>=23. The sequence continues either as 23, 26, 28, 33; or as 26, 28, 33.

23 does not appear as a difference in the first 640000000 terms of A002858 and is therefore a candidate for this sequence. However, a gap of 35 doesn't occur until 483379949 terms, so these missing gaps could eventually occur. - Jud McCranie (JudMcCranie(AT)ugaalum.uga.edu), Jun 13 2008
