A212541 Let p_n=prime(n), n>=1. Then a(n) is the maximal prime p which differs from p_n, for which the intervals (p/2,p_n/2), (p,p_n], if p<p_n, or the intervals (p_n/2,p/2), (p_n,p], if p>p_n, contain the same number of primes, and a(n)=0, if no such prime p exists. 4

%N Let p_n=prime(n), n>=1. Then a(n) is the maximal prime p which differs from p_n, for which the intervals (p/2,p_n/2), (p,p_n], if p<p_n, or the intervals (p_n/2,p/2), (p_n,p], if p>p_n, contain the same number of primes, and a(n)=0, if no such prime p exists.

%C a(n)<p_n if and only if p_n is Ramanujan prime (A104272).

%C a(n)=0 if and only if p_n is a peculiar prime, i.e., simultaneously Ramanujan and Labos (A080359) prime (see sequence A164554).

%F If p_n is not a Ramanujan prime, then a(n) = A104272(n-pi(p_n/2)).

%e Let n=4, p_n=7. Since 7 is not Ramanujan prime, then a(4) = A104272(4-pi(3.5)) = A104272(2) = 11.
