Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A182365
The largest prime in some interval of the form (2*prime(k),2*prime(k+1)) if this interval contains at least 2 primes.

COMMENTS
These are called "left primes" in A166251.
EXAMPLE
For k=6 we have 2*13 < 29 < 31 < 2*17, and the interval contains two primes. Therefore 31 is in the sequence.
