COMMENTS

If the sum is a member of a twin prime pair, it always is the upper twin prime member. [Proof:

Twin primes are sequentially of the form 6n-1 and 6n+1. Then adding

according to the condition, we get 6n-1+6n+1+1 = 12n+1. This implies 12n+1 is

an upper member since if it were a lower member, 12n+1+2 would be the upper

member but 12n+3 is not prime contradicting the definition of a twin prime.

Therefore 12n+1 must be an upper twin prime member as stated.]

FORMULA

{k: A054735(k)+1 = A006512(j), any j} - R. J. Mathar, Apr 06 2009

EXAMPLE

The 30th lower twin prime is 659. 659+661+1 = 1321, prime and 1319 is too.

Then 1319 is the lower member of the twin prime pair (1319,1321). So 30 is in the sequence.

PROG

(PARI) gp > g(n)=for(x=1, n, y=2*twinl(x)+3; if(isprime(y)&&isprime(y-2), print1(x", ")))
