COMMENTS
If Polignac's conjecture (1849) is correct, the sequence is defined for all n (as is A020483).
Also: least k-prime(n) such that k-prime(n) and k+prime(n) are both primes. - Pierre CAMI, Aug 27 2004

EXAMPLE
n=5: prime(5)=11; 2+11*2=24, 3+11*2=25 and 5+11*2=27 are not prime, but 7+11*2=29 is prime, therefore a(5)=7.
