%N a(n) is the least even number such that if p_i is the i-th prime then a(n)-p_i, i=1..n, are composite numbers.

%C Conjecture (A. Granville, H. te Riele and J. van de Lune, 1989) Let, for even N, p=p(N) be the least prime such that N-p is prime as well. Then p(N)=O((log(N))^2log(log(N))). [_Vladimir Shevelev_, Dec 08 2008]

%C It is conjectured that a(n) >= prime(k+1) + 3. See Conjecture C p. 2 in Phong & Dongdong. - _Michel Marcus_, Aug 02 2017
