A257317 Number of unordered ways to write n as the sum of two distinct elements of the set {floor(x/3): 3*x-1 and 3*x+1 are twin prime} one of which is even. 4

%N Number of unordered ways to write n as the sum of two distinct elements of the set {floor(x/3): 3*x-1 and 3*x+1 are twin prime} one of which is even.

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

%C Clearly, this conjecture implies the Twin Prime Conjecture. Note that a(n) does not exceed A256707(n).

%e a(4) = 1 since 4 = 0 + 4 = floor(2/3) + floor(14/3) with 0 or 4 even, and {3*2-1,3*2+1} = {5,7} and {3*14-1,3*14+1} = {41,43} twin prime pairs.

%e a(108) = 1 since 108 = 16 + 92 = floor(50/3) + floor(276/3) with 16 or 92 even, and {3*50-1,3*50+1} = {149,151} and {3*276-1,3*276+1} = {827,829} twin prime pairs.
