Comments

These are the primes of a056240-type 2(12,2); k=2 (see definition in A293652). prime(r-2) is the greatest prime factor of the smallest composite number whose prime divisors (with multiplicity) sum to prime(r).

Conjecture: Sequence has infinitely many terms. Note: p~2(12,2) is just one particular form of a prime of A056240-type k=2; there are others, e.g., 2(18,2), 2(18,4), 2(28,12), 2(24,10). All such prime sequences are also conjectured to produce infinitely many terms.

Formula

For every prime(r) in this sequence A288814(prime(r)) = prime(r-2)*A056240(prime(r) - prime(r-2)) = prime(r-2)*A288814(prime(r) - prime(r-2)).

Example

a(1)=211=prime(47), the first prime of type k=2. prime(46)=199 and prime(45)=197; 211-199=12 and 199-197=2.

Maple

N:=21000:
for X from 2 to N do
if isprime(X) then
A:=prevprime(X);
B:=prevprime(A);
a:=X-A;
b:=A-B;
if a=12 and b=2 then print(X);
end if
end if
end if
end do

Q:= remove(t -> ormap(isprime, [seq(t+i, i=2..10, 2)]), Q):
map(t -> t+12, Q); # Robert Israel, Feb 16 2018
