COMMENT

Let f(m) be the distance to the nearest prime as defined in A051700(m). Then a(n) = min { m: f(m)= 3n }. A132470 uses A051699(m) to define the distance. a(n) <= A132470(n) because here primes at the start or end of a prime gap of size 3n may be picked, which would be discarded in A132470 for n>0; this gives a chance to minimize m here further than in A132470.

FORMULA

a(n) = min {m : A051700(m) = 3n}.

a(n)=A051652(3*n). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 22 2009]

MAPLE

A051700 := proc(m) if m <= 2 then op(m+1, [2, 1, 1]) ; else min(nextprime(m)-m, m-prevprime(m)) ; fi ; end: a := proc(n) local m ; if n = 0 then RETURN(2); else for m from 0 do if A051700(m) = 3 * n then RETURN(m) ; fi ; od: fi ; end: seq(a(n), n=0..18);
