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”).

COMMENTS
Nicely and Nyman have sieved up to 1.3565*10^16 at least. They admit it is likely they have suffered from hardware or software bugs, but believe the probability the sequence up to this point is incorrect is <1 in a million. This sequence is presumably all even integers (in different order). It is not monotonic. The monotonic subsequence of record-breaking prime gaps is A005250.
Essentially the same as A014320. [From R. J. Mathar, Oct 13 2008]
