A282251 Even integers not of the form p + prime(prime(q)) with distinct summands, where p and q are prime. 1

%N Even integers not of the form p + prime(prime(q)) with distinct summands, where p and q are prime.

%C Define a 0-(prime-index-prime) as a prime, and a k-(prime-index-prime) as a number of the form prime(p) where p is a (k-1)-(prime-index-prime). Then these are the even integers that cannot be expressed as p + q, where p is a 2-(prime-indexed prime), q is a 0-(prime-indexed prime), and p != q.

%C No other terms up to 10^10.

%C Conjecture 1: This sequence is finite and its largest term is smaller than 2*e^8.

%C Conjecture 2: For any m > 0, all even numbers greater than 2*e^(4m) are the sum of a prime and an m-(prime-index-prime). See links.

%C Conjecture 3: For any m >= 0 and n >= 0, all large enough even numbers are the sum of an m-(prime-index-prime) and an n-(prime-index-prime). See links.

%e 6 cannot be written as a sum of pair of distincts terms (2_Px, 0_Py).

%e Prime(2) + prime(prime(prime(1))) = 3 + prime(prime(2)) = 3 + prime(3) = 3 + 5 = 8, so 8 is not in this sequence.
