A113275 Lesser of twin primes for which the gap before the following twin primes is a record. 2
3, 5, 17, 41, 71, 311, 347, 659, 2381, 5879, 13397, 18539, 24419, 62297, 187907, 687521, 688451, 850349, 2868959, 4869911, 9923987, 14656517, 17382479, 30752231, 32822369, 96894041, 136283429, 234966929, 248641037, 255949949 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

1,1

EXAMPLE

The smallest twin prime pair is 3,5, then 5,7 so a(0)=3 and a(1)=5; the following pair is 11,13 so a(2)=5 because 11-5=6>5-3=2; the following pair is 17,19: since 17-11=6=11-5 nothing happens; the following pair is 29,31 so a(3)=17 because 29-17=12>11-5=6

MATHEMATICA

NextLowerTwinPrim[n_] := Block[{k = n + 2}, While[ !PrimeQ[k] || !PrimeQ[k + 2], k++ ]; k]; p = 3; r = 0; t = {3}; Do[q = NextLowerTwinPrim[p]; If[q > r + p, AppendTo[t, p]; r = q - p]; p = q, {n, 10^9}] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
