Comments

Terms are in order of n. The sequence has repetitions and is not monotonic: e.g. a(71) = 249 and a(72) = 248. - Robert Israel, Nov 09 2020

Example

If n=2, then (p(2*2)-p(2))/4=(7-3)/4=1=a(1).
If n=6, then (p(2*6)-p(6))/4=(37-13)/4=6=a(2).
If n=11, then (p(2*11)-p(11))/4=(79-31)/4=12=a(3).
If n=13, then (p(2*13)-p(13))/4=(101-41)/4=15=a(4).
If n=14, then (p(2*14)-p(14))/4=(107-43)/4=16=a(5), etc.
