FORMULA

a(n)=Min{x; n+x is prime}

EXAMPLE

a(n)=0, i.e. no solution exists if n is a special prime, namely n is not a lesser-twin-prime;

e.g. if n=7, then neither 7+2=9 nor 7+(oddprime) is a prime, thus no p prime exits such that 7+p was also a prime.

If n=lesser-twin-prime then a(n)=2 is a solution because n+a[n]=n+2=larger-twin-prime satisfying condition.
