%C Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>7.

%C This has been verified for n up to 10^8. It implies that there are infinitely many cousin primes.

%C Conjecture verified for n up to 10^9. - _Mauro Fiorentini_, Aug 06 2023

%C Zhi-Wei Sun also made some other similar conjectures, e.g., he conjectured that any integer n>17 can be written as x+y (x>0, y>0) with 2x-3, 2x+3 and 2xy+1 all prime, and each integer n>28 can be written as x+y (x>0, y>0) with 2x+1, 2y-1 and 2xy+1 all prime.

%C Both conjectures verified for n up to 10^9. - _Mauro Fiorentini_, Aug 06 2023
