%N a(n) is the minimal difference between primes p and q whose sum is 2n.

%C Terms are always even numbers because primes present in Goldbach partitions of n > 4 are odd and n = 4 has just one partition (2+2) where the difference is 0. a(n) = 0 iff n is prime. - _Marcin Barylski_, Apr 28 2018

%F a(n) = 2 * A047160(n). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Jun 01 2020

%t a[n_] := For[p=n, True, p--, If[PrimeQ[p]&&PrimeQ[2n-p], Return[2n-2p]]]

%o (PARI) a(n) = {forstep(k=n, 1, -1, if (isprime(k) && isprime(2*n-k), return(2*n-2*k)););} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Jun 01 2020
