COMMENTS

The difference F(i)-F(j) equals the sum F(j-1)+...+F(i-2) [Corrected by Patrick Capelle, Mar 01 2008]. In general, we need gcd(i,j)=1 for F(i)-F(j) to be prime. The exceptions are handled by the following rule: if i and j are both even or both odd, then F(i)-F(j) is prime if either (1) i-j=4 and L(i-2) is a Lucas prime or (2) i-j=2 and F(i-1) is a Fibonacci prime.

EXAMPLE

The prime 139 is here because it is F(12)-F(5).

MATHEMATICA

lst={}; Do[p=Fibonacci[n]-Fibonacci[i]; If[PrimeQ[p], AppendTo[lst, p]], {n, 2, 40}, {i, n-1}]; Union[lst]
