COMMENT

Related to Goldbach's conjecture. Let g(2n)=A002375(n). The primorials produce maximal values of the function g in the following sense: the basic shape of the function g is k*x/log(x)^2 and each primorial requires a larger value of k than the previous one. - T.

FORMULA

a(n) = #{p(i) + p(j) = A002110(n) for p(k) = A000040(k) and i >= j}.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 1 because 2nd primorial = 6 = 3 + 3 uniquely.

a(3) = 3 because 3rd primorial = 30 = 7 + 23 = 11 + 19 = 13 + 17.

a(4) = 19 because 4th primorial = 210 = 11 + 199 = 13 + 197 = 17 + 193 = 19 + 191 = 29 + 181 = 31 + 179 = 37 + 173 = 43 + 167 = 47 + 163 = 53 + 157 = 59 + 151 = 61 + 149 = 71 + 139 = 73 + 137 = 79 + 131 = 83 + 127 = 97 + 113 = 101 + 109 = 103 + 107.

MATHEMATICA
