COMMENTS

a(2n-1) = k^2 + 1, for all positive integers n, where k is some integer; k is even for n>=2.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=11 because abs(d(10)-d(12))=2 while abs(d(p-1)-d(p+1))<2 for p=2,3,5 and 7. [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 11 2008]

MAPLE

with(numtheory); a:=proc(n) local j: for j while abs(tau(ithprime(j)-1)-tau(ithprime(j)+1)) <> n do end do: ithprime(j) end proc: seq(a(n), n=0..26); [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 11 2008]
