(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A126145 Starting from P0=3, the sequence list the minimum prime P1>P0 for which the expression P=P1+P0-1 is also a prime. The search then restarts from P1. 1

EXAMPLE

3+5-1=7 is a prime. 5 is in the sequence.

5+7-1=11 is a prime: 11 is in the sequence.

11+13-1=23 is a prime: 13 is in the sequence.

13+17-1=29 is a prime: 17 is in the sequence.

17+19-1=35 is not a prime.

MAPLE
