A234567 Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that p = phi(k) + phi(m)/2 + 1 and P(p-1) are both prime, where phi(.) is Euler's totient function and P(.) is the partition function (A000041). 14

%N Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that p = phi(k) + phi(m)/2 + 1 and P(p-1) are both prime, where phi(.) is Euler's totient function and P(.) is the partition function (A000041).

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 727.

%C (ii) For the strict partition function q(.) (cf. A000009), any n > 93 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that p = phi(k) + phi(m)/2 + 1 and q(p-1) - 1 are both prime.

%C (iii) If n > 75 is not equal to 391, then n can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that f(k,m) - 1, f(k,m) + 1 and q(f(k,m)) + 1 are all prime, where f(k,m) = phi(k) + phi(m)/2.

%C Part (i) of the conjecture implies that there are infinitely many primes p with P(p-1) prime.

%e a(21) = 1 since 21 = 6 + 15 with phi(6) + phi(15)/2 + 1 = 7 and P(6) = 11 both prime.

%e a(700) = 1 since 700 = 247 + 453 with phi(247) + phi(453)/2 + 1 = 367 and P(366) = 790738119649411319 both prime.

%e a(945) = 1 since 945 = 687 + 258 with phi(687) + phi(258)/2 + 1 = 499 and P(498) = 2058791472042884901563 both prime.
