%N Even numbers 2k such that the smallest prime p satisfying p+q=2k (q prime) is greater than or equal to sqrt(k).

%C a(n) is an extension of A244408.

%C It is conjectured that a(230) = 503222 is the last term. Oliveira e Silva's work shows that there are no more terms below 4*10^18.

%C The sequence definition is equivalent to: "Even integers k such that there exists a prime p with p = min{q: q prime and (k - q) prime} and k < 2*p^2" and therefore this is a member of the EGN- family (Cf. A307782). - _Corinna Regina Böger_, May 01 2019

%e The smallest prime for 42 is 5 with 5 > sqrt(21), but not smaller than sqrt(42), and therefore 42 does not belong to A244408. The smallest prime for 38 is 7, and 7 >= sqrt(38), and therefore 38 also belongs to A244408.
