Reinhard Zumkeller, Table of n, a(n) for n = 3..10000

Example

n=3: 2*prime(3)+3=2*5+3=13 is prime, so a(3)=3;
n=4: 2*prime(4)+5=2*7+5=19 is prime, so a(4)=5;
...
n=8: 2*prime(8)+17=2*19+17=55 is not prime
2*prime(8)+13=2*19+13=51 is not prime
...
2*prime(8)+5=2*19+5=43 is prime, so a(8)=5;

Mathematica

Table[p1 = Prime[n1]; n2 = 1; p2 = Prime[n1 - n2]; While[cp = 2*p1 + p2; ! PrimeQ[cp], n2++; If[n2 >= n1, Print[n1]]; p2 = Prime[n1 - n2]]; p2, {n1, 3, 202}]
