%N a(n) is the smallest prime p where |d(p-1) - d(p+1)| = n. (d(m) = the number of divisors of m.)

%C a(2n-1) = k^2 + 1, for all positive integers n, where k is some integer; k is even for n >= 2.

%e a(2)=11 because abs(d(10) - d(12)) = 2 while abs(d(p-1) - d(p+1)) < 2 for p=2,3,5 and 7. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Oct 11 2008

%p with(numtheory); a:=proc(n) local j: for j while abs(tau(ithprime(j)-1)-tau(ithprime(j)+1)) <> n do end do: ithprime(j) end proc: seq(a(n), n=0..26); # _Emeric Deutsch_, Oct 11 2008
