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”).

a(n) is the smallest omega(A061214(k)) sampled over all indices k of prime gaps prime(k+1) - prime(k) = 2n, where omega = A001221.

%N a(n) is the smallest omega(A061214(k)) sampled over all indices k of prime gaps prime(k+1) - prime(k) = 2n, where omega = A001221.

%C The example demonstrates that the minimum order of the set of primes represented by all composites in the prime gap 2*n is not necessarily obtained by using the smallest prime(k) (that would be A038664).

%e For n=8: p_283-p_282 = p_296-p_295 = 2*8=16; omega(A061214(282)) > omega(A061214(295)); omega(A061214(295)) = 21; so a(8) = 21.

%Y Cf. A052297.
