Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The existence of a(n)>=0 for all n >= 2 is equivalent to the Goldbach conjecture in Fermi-Dirac arithmetic (cf. comment in A241927) that every even number >= 4 is a sum of two terms of A050376 (it is slightly weaker than Goldbach conjecture for primes).
