Assign the odd prime numbers to the rows of an array as follows:
Assign the first odd prime, prime(2) = 3, to row 0 (the top row).
For m > 2, assign prime(m) to the row immediately above or below the row to which prime(m-1) was assigned: above if prime(m-1) == 1 (mod 4), below otherwise.
The following array results:
row 0 (this sequence): 3, 7, 19, 43, 463, 26839, ...
row 1 (A096448): 5, 11, 17, 23, 31, 41, 47, 59, 67, 103, 127, ...
row 2 (A096451): 13, 29, 37, 53, 61, 71, 79, 101, 107, 113 ...
row 3: 73, 83, 97, 109, ...
row 4: 89, ...
Primes prime(n) such that A038698(n-1) = 0. In other words, p such that A066520(prevprime(p)) = 0. - Jianing Song, Jan 06 2026
