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) is the number of primes between 2n and the largest prime p such that 2n-p is also a prime.
%C If the Goldbach Conjecture is true, this sequence is defined for n >= 2.

%e For n=2, 2n=4 = 2+2, there is one prime, which is 3, between 2 and 4. So a(2)=1;
%e ...
%e For n=8, 2n=16 = 13+3, there is no prime between 13 and 16. So a(8)=0;
%e ...
%e For n=49, 2n=98 = 79+19, there are three primes, 83, 89, and 97 between 79 and 98 such that the difference of 98 and these primes, 15, 9, and 1 respectively, are not prime. So a(49)=3.
