%N There is exactly one odd prime among the pairwise sums of any three consecutive terms: Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct nonnegative integers with this property.

%C This is conjectured and designed to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers, therefore the offset is taken to be zero.

%C Restricted to positive indices, this is a sequence of positive integers having the same property, then conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers. (The word "odd" can be omitted in this case.)

%C If the word "odd" is dropped from the original definition, the sequence starts (0, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7), and then continues from a(6) = 4 onward as the present sequence. This is again conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers, and a permutation of the positive integers when restricted to the domain [1..oo). The latter however no longer has the property of lexicographic minimality.

%C See the OEIS wiki page for further considerations about existence, surjectivity and variants. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 24 2019

%e For the first two terms there is no restriction regarding primality, so a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1. (If only positive values and indices are considered, then a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 2.)

%e Then a(2) must be such that among { 0+1, 0+a(2), 1+a(2) } there is exactly one odd prime, and 2 works.

%e Then a(3) must be such that among { 1+2, 1+a(3), 2+a(3) } there is only one (odd) prime. Since 1+2 = 3, the other two sums must both yield a composite. This excludes 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the smallest possibility is a(3) = 7.

%e And so on.

See the wiki page for more general code which returns the whole vector: Use S(n_max,1,3,1) or S(n_max,1,3,2,[0,1]); S(n_max,1,3,0) gives the variant (0, 1, 3, ...)

%Y For the primes that arise, or are missing, see A328997, A328998.

%Y See A329450 for the variant having 0 primes among a(n+i) + a(n+j), 0 <= i < j < 3.

%Y See A329452 for the variant having 2 primes among a(n+i) + a(n+j), 0 <= i < j < 4.

%Y A084937, A305369 have comparable conditions on three consecutive terms.
