COMMENTS

The same selection rule as in A078497 applies: if there is more than one prime triple (p,q=p+d,r=q+d) with p+q+r=A001748(n), take p from the triple with minimum d. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), May 19 2007

FORMULA

A078497(n)-prime(n)=prime(n)-a(n)=d. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), May 19 2007

EXAMPLE

3 + 5 + 7 = 15, which is three times the (1+2)th prime number. Thus a(1) = 3.

MAPLE

A129758 := proc(n) local p3, i, d, r, p; p3 := ithprime(n) ; i := n+1 ; while true do r := ithprime(i) ; d := r-p3 ; p := p3-d ; if isprime(p) then RETURN(p) ; fi ; i := i+1 ; od ; RETURN(-1) ; end: for n from 3 to 60 do printf("%d, ", A129758(n)) ; od ; - R.
