COMMENTS

Probably an infinite sequence. Using the UB874 program (UBASIC) I found the first 123 primes of the sequence for i <= 382. I think I have a proof that the sequence is infinite.

EXAMPLE

17=3*P(2)#-1 and 19=3*P(2)#+1 are twin primes, so 17 is in the sequence, corresponding to i=2, j=3. Again, 182*2633#-1 and 182*2633#+1 are prime twins, with j=182, i=382. These are 1111-digit twin primes.
