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 (pierre-cami(AT)bbox.fr), 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.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Block[{k = Prime[n], p = Prime[n]}, While[ !PrimeQ[k - p] || !PrimeQ[k + p], k++ ]; k - p]; Table[ f[n], {n, 95}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Aug 28 2004)

PROG

(PARI) forprime(q=2, 500, forprime(p=2, default(primelimit), if(isprime(2*q+p), print1(p", "); next(2))); error("Not enough precomputed primes")) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 21 2011
