COMMENT

Observations up to prime(500000) show that, for n > 2,

A001223(n) = 2 iff a(n) = 0,

A001223(n) = 4 or 6 or 8 iff a(n) = 2,

A001223(n) = 10 or 12 or 14 iff a(n) = 4,

A001223(n) = 16 or 18 or 20 iff a(n) = 6,

................

A001223(n) = 82 or 84 or 86 iff a(n) = 28.

This can be generalized to

A001223(n) = 3*k-2 or 3*k or 3*k+2 iff a(n) = k for k >= 2. A proof should not be too hard.

PROGRAM

(MAGMA) [ #[ k: k in [NthPrime(n)..NthPrime(n+1)] | r eq 2 or r eq 4 where r is k mod 6 ]: n in [1..105] ]; /* Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 15 2007 */
