COMMENTS

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
This is stronger than Goldbach's conjecture for even numbers. It also implies A. Murthy's conjecture (cf. A109909) for even numbers.
We have verified the conjecture for n up to 2*10^7.

EXAMPLE
|
a(6) = 1 since 2*6 = 5 + 7, and (5-1)*(7+1)-1 = 31 is prime.
a(10) = 1 since 2*10 = 7 + 13, and (7-1)*(13+1)-1 = 83 is prime.
a(20) = 1 since 2*20 = 17 + 23, and (17-1)*(23+1)-1 = 383 is prime.
