Comments

It looks like a(n) >= 0 for all n >= 4.

If (n,n+2) are twin primes, then a(n) = 0 and a(n+1) = 0.

Partial sums of b(k) = prevprime(k) + nextprime(k) - 2*k; b(k) = 0 for A145025.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k = 4..n} (A013632(k) - A049711(k)) / 2.

Example

a(4) = (3 + 5)/2 - 4 = 0;
a(5) = (3 + 5)/2 - 4 + (3 + 7)/2 - 5 = 0.
