COMMENT

a(n) = SUM(A156660(k): 1<=k<=n);

a(n) = A156875(2*n+1);

Hardy-Littlewood conjecture: a(n) ~ 2*C2*n/(ln(n))^2, where C2=0.6601618158... is the twin prime constant (see A005597).

The truth of the above conjecture would imply that there is an infinity of Sophie Germain primes (which is also conjectured.)

a(n) ~ 2*C2*n/(ln(n))^2 is also conjectured by Hardy-Littlewood for the number of twin primes <= n.
