A237130 Number of ordered ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that both {3*k - 1, 3*k + 1} and {phi(m) - 1, phi(m) + 1} are twin prime pairs, where phi(.) is Euler's totient function. 7

COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 8.
(ii) Any integer n > 6 can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that both {prime(k), prime(k) + 2} and {phi(m) - 1, phi(m) + 1} are twin prime pairs.
(iii) Each n = 12, 13, ... can be written as p + q (q > 0) with p, p + 6, phi(q) - 1 and phi(q) + 1 all prime.
(iv) If n > 2 is neither 10 nor 430, then n can be written as k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that both {3k - 1, 3*k + 1} and {6*m - 1, 6*m + 1} are twin prime pairs.
Note that each part of the above conjecture implies the twin prime conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(7) = 1 since 7 = 2 + 5 with 3*2 - 1 = 5, 3*2 + 1 =7, phi(5) - 1 = 3 and phi(5) + 1 = 5 all prime.
a(140) = 1 since 140 = 104 + 36 with 3*104 - 1 = 311, 3*104 + 1 = 313, phi(36) - 1 = 11 and phi(36) + 1 = 13 all prime.
