%N a(n) is the least number that is the sum of two cubes of primes and is 2^n times an odd prime, or -1 if there is no such number.

%C a(n) is the least term of A086119 such that a(n)/2^n is an odd prime, or -1 if there is no such term.

%C Since p^3 + q^3 = (p+q)*(p^2 - p*q + q^2), we must have p+q = 2^n, and p^2 - p*q + q^2 an odd prime.

%C Is a(n) > 0 for all n > 7?

%e a(3) = 152 because 3^3 + 5^3 = 152 = 2^3 * 19, 3 and 5 are primes and 19 is odd, and no smaller number works.

%p f:= proc(n) local p,q,t;

%p t:= 2^n; p:= nextprime(t/2);

%p while p > 2 do

%p p:= prevprime(p);

%p q:= t - p;

%p if isprime(q) and isprime(p^2 - p*q + q^2) then return p^3 + q^3 fi

%p od;

%p -1

%p end proc:

%p map(f, [$1..20]);
