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”).

%N a(n) = smallest number k with n prime factors such that 2d + k/d is prime for every d | k.

%C Such k must be an odd squarefree number.

%C a(n) has 2^n divisors and each gives another prime.

%C Conjecture: the sequence is infinite. It is hard to believe!

%C a(n) is the smallest k such that A088627(k) = A000005(k) = 2^n.

%F a(n) = A293756(n+1)/2.

%Y Cf. A088627, A293756.

%Y Subsequence of A244520 (2d + k/d is prime for every d|k).
