Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N The next new gap between successive odd primes (divided by 2).

%C If Polignac's conjecture holds (which is highly likely), then this sequence is a permutation of the positive integers. Even a weaker form of the conjecture would be enough: "Every even number occurs at least once as difference of subsequent primes". - Ferenc Adorjan (ferencadorjan(AT)gmail.com), May 17 2007
