%N Increasing peaks in the prime gap sequence A001632.

%C a(n) is the larger of the two consecutive primes having a late occurring prime gap g = p_k+1 - p_k. All even gaps smaller than g occur at a smaller prime. Also, the next even gap g+2 also occurs earlier.

%e 1847 is in this list because the previous prime is 1831, giving a

%e prime gap of 16. All even gaps less than 16 occur before this (for

%e smaller primes) and the next even gap, 18, also occurs earlier.
