A230762 List of commonest number of decompositions of 2k into an unordered sum of two odd primes in range 3 <= k <= m, integer m >= 3, where m is explained below. 2

%N List of commonest number of decompositions of 2k into an unordered sum of two odd primes in range 3 <= k <= m, integer m >= 3, where m is explained below.

%C If making a statistical bar chart with x-axis denoting the number of decompositions of an even number, and y-axis denoting the number of hits of an x-axis value for all 3 <= k <= m, there are one or more commonest x value presenting with highest y value. Such commonest x values increase when m increases, and fall on the x values listed in this sequence.

%C Hypothesis: With the increase of m, the commonest number of decompositions of 2n into an unordered sum of two odd primes in the range of 3 <= k <= m ascends.

%C This hypothesis derives that the corresponding smallest m to the terms of this sequence makes an ascending sequence. Or say, when testing with m ascending, once a number a(n) enters this sequence, no number smaller than a(n) will be able to enter this sequence if they had not enter previous.

%e When m=3, k has only one value 3, 2k=6=3+3. Only one possible decomposition, making a decomposition statistics {{x,y}}={{1,1}}. So a(1)=1;

%e When m=4, k gets another value 4, 2k=8=3+5. The decomposition statistics {{x,y}}={{1,2}};...

%e Thereafter, k=5 makes 2k=10=5+5=3+7, {{x,y}}={{1,2},{2,1}}, the commonest value is still 1.

%e k=6, 2k=12=5+7, {{x,y}}={{1,3},{2,1}}, commonest x is still 1.

%e k=7, 2k=14=3+11=7+7, {{x,y}}={{1,3},{2,2}}, commonest x is still 1.

%e k=8, 2k=16=3+13=5+11, {{x,y}}={{1,3},{2,3}}, except for 1, 2 is now eligible to be the new possible commonest x, so a(2)=2.

%e ...

%e Counting up to k=28, the decomposition statistics is {{1,3},{2,8},{3,8},{4,5},{5,2}}, 2 and 3 are now the commonest decompositions. It is the first time for 3 to appear. So a(3)=3.
