Comments

Take any n, find the distance from n to p: d=p-n, where p is the smallest prime > n ("next prime"), then a(n) is the number which is at the same distance from p as n, a(n)=p+d. n such that p+d=2p-n is prime in A087031.

Formula

a(n)=2p-n, p is the smallest prime > n.

Example

a(2)=4 because smallest prime >2 is 3 and 2*3-2=4.
