COMMENTS

a(n)>=4 because prime p and prime p + 2 (twin primes) are never at the same time of the form 4k+3 or 4k+1.

FORMULA

a(n) = A108811(2n) - A108811(2n-1).

EXAMPLE

a(1)=4 because the difference primes pairs of form 4k+3 11 and 7 = 4;

a(2)=4 because the difference primes pairs of form 4k+1 17 and 13 = 4.

CROSSREFS

Cf. A108811, increasing consecutive prime pairs alternating between form 4k+3 and 4k+1.

Sequence in context: A059190 A085142 A064053 * A162281 A048760 A035627
