Alexei Kourbatov and Marek Wolf, On the first occurrences of gaps between primes in a residue class, arXiv preprint arXiv:2002.02115 [math.NT], 2020.
EXAMPLE
The first two primes of the form 6k + 1 are 7 and 13, so a(1) = 7. The next prime of that form is 19, and the gap 19 - 13 = 6 already occurred; so a new term is not added to the sequence. The next prime of the form 6k + 1 is 31, and the gap 31 - 19 = 12 is occurring for the first time; therefore a(2) = 19.
The gap between 241 and the next prime of the form 6k + 1 (271) is 30. So 241 is in the sequence.
Although the gap between 283 and 307 is only 24 (which is less than 30), the gap is of a size not previously encountered. So 283 is in the sequence.
