%N Prime numbers whose binary representations are split into a maximum of 7 runs.

%C The m-th prime is a term iff A100714(m) <= 7.

%C Missing primes begin 661, 677, 683, 853, 1109, 1193, 1237, 1301, 1321, 1361, 1367, 1373, .... - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Oct 19 2015

%e a(3)=5 is a term because it is the 3rd prime whose binary representation splits into at most 7 runs: 5_10 = 101_2.

%o (PARI) is(n)=hammingweight(bitxor(n, n>>1))<8 && isprime(n) \\ _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Oct 19 2015

%Y Cf. A100714, A100725 (maximum of 5 runs), A100724 (maximum of 3 runs), A100723 (exactly 7 runs).
