A178548 a(n) is the smallest prime p such that q = 2 * p + prime(n+2) is prime AND A007953(p) = A007953(q) where A007953 is sum of digits. 2

%N a(n) is the smallest prime p such that q = 2 * p + prime(n+2) is prime AND A007953(p) = A007953(q) where A007953 is sum of digits.

%C Prime q is sum of even semiprimes 2*p (A100484) and prime(i+2) (i = 1, 2, ...) (A000040).

%C Equivalent conditions: q = 2*p + prime(i+2) <=> p = (q - prime(i+2))/2 <=> (q - prime(i+2))/p = 2.

%C Algorithm: Q = prime(i+2) + 2*N, search first N with digsum(N) = digsum(Q);

%C (a) if Q AND N prime: p = N;

%C (b) if N composite: for n(k) = N + 9*k, q(k) = prime(i+2) + 2*(N + 9*k)

%C (i) digsum(n(k)) = digsum(q(k)),

%C (ii) n(k) has to be prime, let k = 1, 2, ... (Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions),

%C (iii) q(k) has to be prime (k = 1, 2, ... , again Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions);

%C Smallest k with (i), (ii) and (iii) gives term of sequence p = p(i).

%C Each prime > 3 is so "associated" uniquely with a pair (p,q) of primes.

%C List of triples (prime(i+2), p, q) is given in link for 0 <= i <= 100.

%C Pairs of primes (p, q) classified according to their digsum:

%C 2: (2,11) (11,101) (2,101)

%C 4: (13,31) (31,103) (31,211)

%C 5: (5,23) (5,41) (23,113) (5,113) (41,311)

%C 16: (97,277) (97,367) (97,457) (79,439) (97,547)

%C 17: (197,557) (89,359) (89,449)

%C Note: prime(i+2) is used in the sequence for 2 reasons: prime(i) could not be used for i=1 because q would be 2*p + prime(1) = 2*p + 2 that is not prime; prime(i+1) could not be used for i=1, because q would be 2*p + prime(2) = 2*p + 3, but numbers q with digsum(q) = digsum(p) are necessarily of form q = 9*k + 6 that is not prime.
