A237413 Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that p(k)^2 - 2, p(m)^2 - 2 and p(p(m))^2 - 2 are all prime, where p(j) denotes the j-th prime. 8

%N Number of ways to write n = k + m with k > 0 and m > 0 such that p(k)^2 - 2, p(m)^2 - 2 and p(p(m))^2 - 2 are all prime, where p(j) denotes the j-th prime.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C This conjecture was motivated by the "Super Twin Prime Conjecture".

%C See A237414 for primes q with q^2 - 2 and p(q)^2 - 2 both prime.

%e a(7) = 1 since 7 = 6 + 1 with p(6)^2 - 2 = 13^2 - 2 = 167, p(1)^2 - 2 = 2^2 - 2 = 2 and p(p(1))^2 - 2 = p(2)^2 - 2 = 3^2 - 2 = 7 are all prime.

%e a(516) = 1 since 516 = 473 + 43 with p(473)^2 - 2 = 3359^2 - 2 = 11282879, p(43)^2 - 2 = 191^2 - 2 = 36479 and p(p(43))^2 - 2 = p(191)^2 - 2 = 1153^2 - 2 = 1329407 all prime.
