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”).

For every n >= 0, exactly 10 sums are prime among a(n+i) + a(n+j), 0 <= i < j < 7; lexicographically earliest such sequence of distinct nonnegative numbers.

%N For every n >= 0, exactly 10 sums are prime among a(n+i) + a(n+j), 0 <= i < j < 7; lexicographically earliest such sequence of distinct nonnegative numbers.

%C That is, there are 10 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 21 pairwise sums of any 7 consecutive terms.

%C Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers.

%C If it is, then the restriction to [1..oo) is a permutation of the positive integers, but maybe not the lexicographically earliest one with this property.

%C This is the first example of a sequence of this type for which the greedy choice of a(n) is frequently incorrect beyond the initial terms, see Examples.

%e At the beginning of the sequence, we must avoid the choice of 6 or 7 for a(6): both appear to be possible at first sight, giving exactly 10 prime sums with n = 0 in the definition, but then make it impossible to find a successor term a(7) for which the definition is satisfied with n = 1.

%e The same happens again for a(37) and a(58), where the apparently possible value 19 resp. 46 must be avoided.
