COMMENTS
a(n) is also the degree of prime(n) in the graph P(A070939(prime(n)), 2), defined in A145667.
FORMULA
a(n) = deg(prime(n)) in P(A070939(prime(n)), 2) (see A145667).
EXAMPLE
prime(1) = 2, in binary 10, has one neighbor 11 in P(2, 2), so a(1) = 1.
prime(14) = 43, in binary 101011, has neighbors 101001 (41), 101111 (47), 111011 (59), so a(14) = 3.
MAPLE
a:= n-> (p-> nops(select(isprime, {seq(Bits[Xor]
(p, 2^i), i=0..ilog2(p)-1)})))(ithprime(n)):
seq(a(n), n=1..100); # Alois P. Heinz, May 11 2022
PROG
(Python)
from sympy import isprime, sieve
def neighs(s):
digs = "01"
ham1 = (s[:i]+d+s[i+1:] for i in range(len(s)) for d in digs if d!=s[i])

def a(n):
return sum(1 for s in neighs(bin(sieve[n])[2:]) if isprime(int(s, 2)))
