A157187 Number of ways to write n as p*q-(p+q) with primes p <= q. 5

%N Number of ways to write n as p*q-(p+q) with primes p <= q.

%C The only even number which can be written in the given way is n=0=2*2-(2+2), since if q an odd prime, pq-(p+q) is always odd.

%C Erdős shows that this sequence is unbounded. In particular, for any e > 0, there are infinitely many n such that a(n) > exp(sqrt(log n) - e). - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 05 2012

%C The number n = A218862(k) tells where a(n) is first equal to k. - _T. D. Noe_, Dec 06 2012

%F a(13+20n) = 0 for all n. - _T. D. Noe_, Dec 06 2012

%e a(0)=1 since 0=2*2-(2+2) is the only possibility.

%e a(1)=1 since 1=2*3-(2+3) is the only possibility.

%e a(2)=0 since 2 cannot be written as pq-(p+q) for primes p,q.

%e a(3)=2 since 3 = 2*5-(2+5) = 3*3-(3+3) are the two possibilities.

%e a(15437822399)=100 since p can be taken to be any of {13, 41, 43, 109, 113, 151, 181, 199, 271, 401, 613, 617, 661, 673, 859, 883, 919, 1021, 1123, 1201, 1249, 1471, 1801, 1871, 1951, 2003, 2269, 2647, 2731, 2861, 3169, 3511, 3571, 4159, 4999, 5281, 5881, 6007, 6427, 7057, 7393, 7481, 7841, 9241, 9521, 10193, 12241, 12377, 12853, 13729, 15401, 15913, 16831, 17551, 18701, 20593, 21169, 22051, 22441, 23801, 26951, 27541, 28051, 30577, 30941, 32341, 32401, 34273, 34651, 36037, 36721, 40801, 42043, 46411, 47521, 48049, 51481, 53857, 57331, 59671, 63649, 65521, 66529, 70687, 72931, 76441, 77617, 78541, 87517, 91631, 92401, 96097, 97241, 101921, 102103, 103951, 117811, 120121, 122401, 123553}.
