%N Least k such that the difference between consecutive semiprimes A065516(k) equals n, or 0 if no such k exists.

%C a(n) equals least k such that A065516(k) = n, or 0 if no such k exists. Conjecture: a(n)>0 exists for all n.

%e A065516(n) begins {2, 3, 1, 4, 1, 6, 1, 3, 1, 7, 1, 1, 3, 1, 7, 3, 2, 4, 2, 1, 4, 3, 4, 5, ...}.

%e Thus a(1) = 3, a(2) = 1, a(3) = 2, a(4) = 4, a(5) = 24.
