COMMENT

If the sum is a member of a twin prime pair, it always is the upper member, shown in A158866.

Moreover, except the first term, these numbers are of the form 10k+1. [We prove this by

exhausting the possibilities when calculating the upper, summing and inspecting

the lower of the sum. Here are the possible outcomes.

p1(k), p2(k) p2(m) = p1(k)+p2(k)+1

----------- ---------------------------------

10k+1 10k+3 20k+4+1 not prime

10k+3 10k+5 p2(k) not prime

10k+5 10k+7 p1(k) not prime

10k+7 10k+9 20k+16+1 upper => p1(m) not prime

10k+9 10k+11 20k+20+1 = 10(2k+2)+1

So the only form that was not eliminated, is 10k+1. 13 defies this scheme

because 10k+5 is prime for k=0, q.e.d.]

FORMULA

{A054735(k)+1: A054735(k)+1 = A006512(j), any j,k} - R. J. Mathar, Apr 06 2009

EXAMPLE

The 30th lower twin prime is 659. 659+661+1 = 1321, prime and 1319 is too.

Then 1319 is the lower member of the twin prime pair (1319,1321). So 1321 is

in the sequence.
