COMMENTS
Composite numbers that are nearer to the immediately next prime than to the immediately previous prime.
Members of this sequence are the numbers C, necessarily composite, such that I_n < C < P_n+1, where P_n is the n-th odd prime and I_n the interprime (A024675) between P_n and P_n+1.
Prime-free subsequence of A264719.
EXAMPLE
a(7) = 36 because 36 > (31 + 37)/2 = 34.
