Comments

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 3, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 5, 9, 25, 77, 104.

See also A237838 for a similar conjecture involving Sophie Germain primes.

Example

a(9) = 1 since {p <= 4*9: p and p + 2 are both prime} = {3, 5, 11, 17, 29} has cardinality 5 and {5, 7} is a twin prime pair.

Mathematica

TQ[n_]:=PrimeQ[n]&&PrimeQ[n+2]
tq[n_]:=Sum[If[PrimeQ[Prime[k]+2], 1, 0], {k, 1, PrimePi[n]}]
a[n_]:=Sum[If[TQ[tq[k*n]], 1, 0], {k, 1, n}]
