Numbers n for which a(n) = 1 form sequence A208982.
a(n) = 0 for n = 25, 33, 37, 47,... (A209333).
A simple sufficient condition for a(n) = 0 (which is proved by induction) is that n<+>k is not prime up to the moment that n<+>k is even and n<+>(k+1)-n<+>k = 2^t, where t >= m+1 and m defined by the condition 2^m <= n < 2^(m+1).
Conjecture: for even n, a(n) > 0.
