Comments

Numbers j such that A124080(j)-1 is prime or A124080(j)+1 is prime, where repetition means a twin prime, are 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 11, 13, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 24, 24, 25, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Nov 29 2006

Formula

{A124080(j)-1 when prime} U {A124080(j)+1 when prime} = {i = 10*T(j)-1 such that i is prime} U {i = 10*T(j)+1 such that i is prime} where T(j) = A000217(j) = j*(j+1)/2.

Example

a(1) = A124080(1)+1 = (10*T(1)) - 1 = 10*(1*(1+1)/2) + 1 = 10+1 = 11 is prime.
a(2) = A124080(2)-1 = (10*T(2))-1 = 10*(2*(2+1)/2) - 1 = 30-1 = 29 is prime.
a(3) = A124080(2)+1 = (10*T(2))+1 = 10*(2*(2+1)/2) + 1 = 30+1 = 31 is prime.
