A173081 Number of twin prime pairs < 10^n that contain at least one Ramanujan prime (A104272). 1

%S 0,6,28,167,964,6305,45082,335919,2605867

%N Number of twin prime pairs < 10^n that contain at least one Ramanujan prime (A104272).

%C It appears that this counts the number of Ramanujan primes < 10^n that are the lesser prime in a twin prime pair. Equivalently, this sequence also counts the number of Ramanujan primes p with p+2 also prime less than 10^n.

%C It appears that no upper twin prime is a Ramanujan prime without the corresponding lower twin prime also being a Ramanujan prime.

%C This is proved in Section 4 of "Ramanujan Primes: Bounds, Runs, Twins, and Gaps".
