COMMENTS

a(1) and a(2) are omitted because they are dependent on the treatment of the twin pair (3,5). It is conjectured that a(n)>0 for all n>122. Proving this would also prove the twin prime conjecture.

Proving a(n)>0 for n>122 would also prove Legendre's conjecture that there is a prime between n^2 and (n+1)^2. - T. D. Noe, Feb 28 2007

EXAMPLE

a(3)=1 because the interval [3^2,4^2] contains one pair of twins (11,13).

a(9)=0 because the interval [9^2,10^2] is one of the few known intervals (given in A091592) not containing twin primes.
