A075469 Maximal m such that n^n-m and n^n+m are both primes, or -1 if there is no such m. 2

%N Maximal m such that n^n-m and n^n+m are both primes, or -1 if there is no such m.

%C Are there any negative terms?

%C Of course the Goldbach conjecture implies that the answer is "no"; further, the first thousand terms are positive. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 16 2016

%H Charles R Greathouse IV, <a href="/A075469/b075469.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 2..386</a>

%F a(n) = A047949(n^n). - _Michel Marcus_, Jun 09 2013

%e a(4) = 253 since 4^4-253 = 3 and 4^4+253 = 509 are both prime.

%o (PARI) a(n)=my(N=n^n); forprime(p=2,N, if(isprime(2*N-p), return(N-p))); -1 \\ _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 16 2016

%Y Cf. A075468.
