COMMENTS

We interpret the definition as saying that we find a(n+1) from a(n) by testing a(n)-+2*d (first the minus, then the plus, d=1,2,3,4...., d not used before) for primality and for not already being on the list. This creates a list of odd primes, but there is no proof (yet) that all odd primes are in the sequence. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 29 2007
