COMMENT

Does anyone know of a proof that a(n) is defined for all natural numbers n, i.e. f:n -> prime(n+1)-prime(n) is a surjective map from N-{1} -> E, where N, E are the sets of natural numbers and even numbers, respectively? - Joseph L. Pe (joseph_l_pe(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 14 2002
a(n) is defined for all n if (but not only if) de Polignac's conjecture is true. - Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Jul 22 2003
