Comments

The sequence is obtained by interleaving A099019 and A134797. From Goldbach's conjecture, apparently all terms are odd. - Bob Selcoe, Mar 10 2015

Intersection of A007921 and A014092. - Michel Marcus, Mar 16 2015

Lim=331; nn=PrimePi[Lim+1]; (* Lim is upper limit of sequence; nn is range of primes to consider *)
dif=Union[Flatten[Differences/@Subsets[Prime[Range[nn]], {2}]]]; (* differences of two primes *)
sum=Union[Join[Flatten[Total/@Subsets[Prime[Range[nn]], {2}]], Table[2*Prime[n], {n, nn}]]]; seq2; (* sums of two primes *)
Complement[Range[Lim], dif, sum] (* neither sum nor difference *) (* James C. McMahon, Jun 10 2024 *)
