%N First occurrence of distances of equidistant lonely primes. Each equidistant prime is at the same distance (or has the same gap) from the preceding prime and the next prime.

%C Or, least balanced primes: starting with 2nd term, 53, the smallest prime such that the distances to the next smallest and next largest primes are both equal to 6n.

%C The distances corresponding to the above terms are 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, ..., 192, 198, 204, 210, 218, 224.

%C a(1) is the smallest prime p such that {p-2, p, p+2} are three consecutive primes. For n>1, a(n) is the smallest prime p such that {p-6*(n-1), p, p+6*(n-1)} are three consecutive primes. - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Apr 16 2022

%F a(1) = A052187(1) + 2. For n>1, a(n) = A052187(n) + 6*(n-1). - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Apr 16 2022

%e 211 is an equidistant lonely prime with distance 12. This is the first occurrence of the distance 12, thus 211 is in the sequence.

%e 20201 is a least balanced prime because it is the third term in the sequence and is separated from both the next lower and next higher primes by 3 * 6 = 18.

%e Here is the beginning of the table of equidistant lonely primes.

%e Equivalent to 3 consecutive primes in arithmetic progression.

%e * indicates a maximal gap. This table gives rise to A058867, A058868 and the present sequence.
