A007921 Numbers that are not the difference of two primes. 28

%I #100 May 27 2024 16:12:16

%S 7,13,19,23,25,31,33,37,43,47,49,53,55,61,63,67,73,75,79,83,85,89,91,

%N Numbers that are not the difference of two primes.

%C Conjecturally, odd numbers k such that k+2 is composite.

%C Is this the same as A068780(2n-1) - 1? - _J. Stauduhar_, Aug 23 2012

%C A092953(a(n)) = 0. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Nov 10 2012

%C It seems that the sequence contains the squares of all primes except for 2 and 3. - _Ivan N. Ianakiev_, Aug 29 2013 [It does: For every prime p > 3, note that p^2 == 1 (mod 3), so p^2 cannot be q - r where q and r are primes. (If it were, then since p^2 is odd, q and r could not both be odd primes; r would have to be the even prime, 2, which would mean that p^2 = q - 2, so q = p^2 + 2 == 0 (mod 3), i.e., 3 would divide q, so q would not be prime -- a contradiction.) - _Jon E. Schoenfield_, May 03 2024]

%C Integers d such that A123556(d) = 1, that is, integers d such that the largest possible arithmetic progression (AP) of primes with common difference d has only one element. For each such d, the unique element of all the first largest APs with 1 element is A342309(d) = 2. - _Bernard Schott_, Jan 08 2023

%C If it exists, the least even term is > 10^12 (see 1st comment in A020483). - _Bernard Schott_, Jan 09 2023
