Comments

"Between 10^(n-1) and 10^n" is equivalent to saying "with n (decimal) digits".

A prime octuplet is a sequence of 8 consecutive primes (p1, ..., p8) of minimal diameter p8 - p1 = 26.

Terms a(1)-a(12) computed from b-file a(1..18123) for A065706. Using Luhn's database, cf. LINKS, one can get 3 more terms.

So far, the last term of all the octuplets has the same number of digits as the initial term.

Example

a(1) = a(3) = 0 because there is no single-digit nor a 3-digit prime initial member of a prime octuplet.
a(2) = 2 because 11 and 17 are the only 2-digit members of A065706, i.e., primes to start a prime octuplet.
a(4) = a(5) = 1 because 1277 (resp. 88793) is the only prime with 4 (resp. 5) digits to start a prime octuplet.
Then there are a(6) = 3 six-digit primes, 113147, 284723 and 855713, which start a prime octuplet.

Prog
