%N Number of ways of writing prime(n) in the form 2*prime(i)+prime(j).

%C First nonzero entry is for n=4: prime(4)=7=prime(1)+2*prime(3)=2+3*3, hence a(4)=1. Also, a(5)=2 because 11=5+2*3=7+2*2 (two solutions). Note that a(n) is not monotonic. - _Zak Seidov_, Jan 21 2006

%C Marnell conjectures that a(n) > 0 for n > 3. I find no exceptions below 10^9. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, May 04 2010

%F a(n) = A046926(prime(n)). - _David Wasserman_, Oct 08 2005

%e 11=2*2+7=2*3+5, so a(5)=2

%e a(100)=13 because p(100)=541=p(i)+2*p(j) for 13 pairs {i, j}: {2, 57}, {17, 53}, {23, 50}, {41, 42}, {49, 37}, {52, 36}, {56, 34}, {69, 25}, {76, 22}, {81, 18}, {91, 12}, {92, 11}, {96, 8}; e.g. 541=prime(96)+2*prime(8)=503+2*19. - _Zak Seidov_, Jan 21 2006
