COMMENTS

This sequence is the third row of A337767.a(n) > 0 and that there are multiple instances for some k where (p_(k+3) - p_k)/2 - 3 = n.

This sequence only cites the first such occurrence.

n:

4: 3, 5, 11, 101, 191, 821, 1481, 1871, 2081, 3251, 3461, 5651, ...,

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 3. This represents the beginning of the run of primes {3, 5, 7, 11}. (11 - 3)/2 = 4 and it is the first prime to do so. Others are 5, 11, 101, 191, etc.;

a(5) = 7. This represents the beginning of the run of primes {7, 11, 13, 17}. (17 - 7)/2 = 5 and it is the first prime to do so. Others are 13, 37, 97, 103, etc.;

a(6) = 17. This represents the beginning of the run of primes {17, 19, 23 & 29}. (29 - 17)/2 = 6 and it is the first prime to do so. Others are 19, 29, 31, 41, etc.

MATHEMATICA

p = 3; q = 5; r = 7; s = 11; tt[_] := 0; While[p < 250000, d = (s - p)/2; If[ tt[d] == 0, tt[d] = p]; {p, q, r, s} = {q, r, s, NextPrime@ s}]; tt@# & /@ Range@ 75
