Comments

For each n, a(n)>n and like a(n)-n, a(n)+n is also composite.

If both numbers p and p+2n are primes then x=p+n is a solution to the equation phi(x+n)+sigma(x-n)=2x. But for these many solutions x, both numbers x-n and x+n are primes.

Example

a(1)=11 because 11-1 is composite, phi(11+1)+sigma(11-1)=2*11 and there is no such number less than 11.
