Conjecture: a(n) exists for any n > 0. In general, for any positive integers a, m and n, there are integers i,j,k > 0 with i > j such that (prime(i*n)+prime(j*n))/2 (or (prime(i*n)-prime(j*n))/2) is equal to a*prime(k*n)^m.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 3 since (prime(2*1)+prime(3*1))/2 = (3+5)/2 = 2^2 = prime(1*1)^2.
a(158) = 8405 since (prime(778*158)+prime(8405*158))/2 = (1625551+20967091)/2 = 3361^2 = prime(3*158)^2.
