COMMENTS
Also primes that are the sum of two primes (which is possible only if 2 is one of the primes). - Cino Hilliard, Jul 02 2004, edited by M. F. Hasler, Nov 14 2019
The set of greater of twin primes larger than five is a proper subset of the set of primes of the form 3n + 1 (A002476). - Paul Muljadi, Jun 05 2008
Smallest prime > n-th isolated composite. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Nov 07 2009
Subsequence of A175075. Union of a(n) and sequence A175080 is A175075. - Jaroslav Krizek, Jan 30 2010
A164292(a(n))=1; A010051(a(n)+2)=0 for n > 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 29 2010
Omega(n) = Omega(n-2); d(n) = d(n-2). - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Sep 19 2010
Aside from the first term, all subsequent terms have digital root 1, 4, or 7. - J. W. Helkenberg, Jul 24 2013
Also primes p with property that the sum of the successive gaps between primes <= p is a prime number. - Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 19 2014
The phrase "x is an element of the {primes, positive integers} and there {exist no, exist} elements a,b of {1 and primes, primes}: a+b=x" determines A133410, A067829, A025584, A006512, A166081, A014092, A014091 and A038609 for the first few hundred terms with only de-duplication or omitting/including 3, 4 and 6 in the case of A166081/A014091 and one case of omitting/including 3 given 1 isn't prime. - Harry G. Coin, Nov 25 2015
The yet unproved Twin Prime Conjecture states that this sequence is infinite. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 14 2019
