Comments

Each entry of the n-th row is a prime p from the n-th row of A002260 such that 2n-p is also prime. If A002260 is read as the antidiagonals of a square array, this sequence can be read as an irregular square array (see example below). The n-th row has length A035026(n). This sequence is the nonzero subsequence of A154725. - Jason Kimberley, Jul 08 2012

Example

a(2)=2 because for row 2: 2*2=2+2; a(3)=3 because for row 3: 2*3=3+3; a(4)=3 and a(5)=5 because for row 4: 2*4=3+5; a(6)=3, a(7)=5 and a(8)=7 because for row 5: 2*5=3+7=5+5.
