Array T(n,k) (n >= 1, k >= 1) read by upward antidiagonals and defined as follows. Let N(p,i) denote the result of applying "nextprime" i times to p; T(n,k) = smallest prime p such that N(p,n) - p = 2*k, or 0 if no such prime exists.

%N Array T(n,k) (n >= 1, k >= 1) read by upward antidiagonals and defined as follows. Let N(p,i) denote the result of applying "nextprime" i times to p; T(n,k) = smallest prime p such that N(p,n) - p = 2*k, or 0 if no such prime exists.

%C The positive entries in each row and column are distinct.

%C Number of zeros right of 3 are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 6, 5, 5, 4, 6, ..., .

%C Number of zeros in the n-th row are 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 36, 37, 40, 45, 47, 51, 52, 55, ..., .

%C The usual convention in the OEIS is to use -1 in the "escape clause" - that is, when "no such terms exists". It is probably too late to change this sequence, but it should not be cited as a role model for other sequences. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 19 2021
