P(n,k) is an array read by rows, with n > 0 and k=1..5, where row n gives the chain of 5 consecutive primes {p(i), p(i+1), p(i+2), p(i+3), p(i+4)} having the symmetrical property p(i) + p(i+4) = p(i+1) + p(i+3) = 2*p(i+2) for some index i.

a(3 + 5*(n-1)) = A051795(n).
The immediate objective of the sequence is to examine symmetrical properties in the array P(n,k). It is interesting to note that the results with the dimension 5 are generalizable to the dimensions 7, 9, ...
Notation:
We introduce the following function S(i,j) where row i is defined by {P(i,k)} and row j is defined by {P(j,k)}, k = 1..5. Let S(i, j) = 1 if P(i,1) + P(j,5) = P(i,2) + P(j,4) = P(i,3) + P(j,3), otherwise 0.
Conjecture:
For each integer n, there exists an infinite sequence of integers b(n,m), m = 1, 2, ... such that S(n, b(n,m)) = 1.
The following table gives the first values b(n,m).
Notation in the table: "PS" = primitive sequence.

Example: S(7, 30) = 1.
We observe primitive sequences {b(n,m)} for n = {1, 4, 7, 20, 25, ...}.
(A primitive sequence is a sequence which is not included in another.)
Properties:
(1) S(i, i)= 1 for all i;
(2) S(i, j) = 1 => S(j, i) = 1;
(3) S(i, j) = 1 and S(j, L) = 1 => S(i, L) = 1.
Example:
For n = 1, {P(1,k)} = {18713, 18719, 18731, 18743, 18749};
we choose, for instance, b(1,2) = 3 => for n = 3, {C(3,k)} = {28051, 28057, 28069, 28081, 28087};
S(1,3) = 1 because 18713 + 28087 = 18719 + 28081 = 18731 + 28069 = 18743 + 28057 = 18749 + 28051 = 46800.
In order to find the index L for satisfying the property (3), we choose, for instance, the index b(3,2) = 8 => for n = 8, {P(8,k)} = {97423, 97429, 97441, 97453, 97459} and S(3, 8) = 1 because 28051 + 97459 = 28057 + 97453 = 28069 + 97441 = 28081 + 97429 = 28087 + 97423 = 125510.
Conclusion: S(1, 3) = 1 and S(3, 8) = 1 => S(1, 8) = 1 with 18713 + 97459 = 18719 + 97453 = 18731 + 97441 = 18743 + 97429 = 18749 + 97423 = 116172.
EXAMPLE
The first row is [18713, 18719, 18731, 18743, 18749] because 18713 + 18749 = 18719 + 18743 = 2*18731 = 37462.
The array starts with:
[18713, 18719, 18731, 18743, 18749]
[25603, 25609, 25621, 25633, 25639]
[28051, 28057, 28069, 28081, 28087]
