COMMENTS

First nonzero entry is for n=4: prime(4)=7=prime(1)+2*prime(3)=2+3*3, hence a(4)=1. Also, a(5)=2 because 11=5+2*3=7+2*2 (two solutions). Note that a(n) is not monotonic. - Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 21 2006

Marnell conjectures that a(n) > 0 for n > 3. I find no exceptions below 10^9. [From Charles R Greathouse IV (charles.greathouse(AT)case.edu), May 04 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = A046926(prime(n)). - David Wasserman (dwasserm(AT)earthlink.net), Oct 08 2005

EXAMPLE

11=2*2+7=2*3+5, so a(5)=2

a(100)=13 because p(100)=541=p(i)+2*p(j) for 13 pairs {i, j}: {2, 57}, {17, 53}, {23, 50}, {41, 42}, {49, 37}, {52, 36}, {56, 34}, {69, 25}, {76, 22}, {81, 18}, {91, 12}, {92, 11}, {96, 8}; e.g. 541=prime(96)+2*prime(8)=503+2*19. - Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 21 2006
