%N a(n) = max(A244570(n), A244571(n)).

%C a(n) < (prime(n))^3 yields an infinity of twin primes (it is sufficient, if this inequality holds for an arbitrary infinite subsequence n = n_k). For a proof, see the Shevelev link (Remark 8).

%C The author apparently claims to have proved the infinitude of twin primes. No alleged proof has been accepted by the mathematical community. - _Jens Kruse Andersen_, Jul 13 2014

%C In the statistical part of my link (Section 14), using the Chinese Remainder and Tolev's theorems, I reduced the supposition of the finiteness of twin primes to an arbitrarily long coin-flipping experiment in which only "heads" appear. There I gave only a "demonstration" of the infinity of twin primes. In the analytical part (Sections 15-18) I proved unconditionally till now only Theorem 13. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Jul 22 2014
