A weaker form of this conjecture, the ternary form, was proved by Helfgott (see link below). - T. D. Noe, May 14 2013
The Goldbach conjecture is that for n >= 3, this sequence is always positive.
This has been checked up to at least 10^18 (see A002372).
With the exception of the n=2 term, identical to A045917.
The conjecture has been verified up to 3 * 10^17 (see MathWorld link). - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Oct 17 2008
Languasco and Zaccagnini proved that, where Lambda is the von Mangoldt function, and R(n) = Sum_{i + j = n} Lambda(i)*Lambda(j) is the counting function for the Goldbach numbers, and for N >= 2 and assume the Riemann hypothesis (RH) holds, then Sum_{n = 1..N} R(n) = (N^2)/2 - 2*Sum_{rho} ((N^(rho+1))/(rho*(rho+1))) + O(N * log^3 N).
If 2n is the sum of two distinct primes, then neither prime divides 2n. - Christopher Heiling, Feb 28 2017

			2 and 4 are not the sum of 2 odd primes, so a(1) = a(2) = 0; 6 = 3 + 3 (one way, so a(3) = 1); 8 = 3 + 5 (so a(4) = 1); 10 = 3 + 7 = 5 + 5 (so a(5) = 2); etc.

The Goldbach conjecture states that a(n) > 0 for n >= 2. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2016
With the second Maple program, the command G(2n) yields all the unordered pairs of prime numbers having sum 2n; caveat: a pair {a,a} is listed as {a}. Example: G(26) yields {{13}, {3,23}, {7,19}}. The command G(100000) yields 810 pairs very fast. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 03 2017
Conjecture: Let p denote any prime in any decomposition of 2n. 4 and 6 are the only numbers n such that 2n + p is prime for every p. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Apr 06 2017
Conjecture: For all m >= 0, there exists at least one possible value of n such that a(n) = m. - Ahmad J. Masad, Jan 06 2018
The previous conjecture is related to the sequence A053033. - Ahmad J. Masad, Dec 09 2019
Conjecture: For each k >= 0, there exists a minimum sufficiently large number r that depends on k such that for each n >= r, a(n) > k. - Ahmad J. Masad, Jan 08 2020
Conjecture: If the previous conjecture is true, then for each m >= 0, the number of terms that are equal to (m+1) is larger than the number of terms that are equal to m. - Ahmad J. Masad, Jan 08 2020
Also, the number of equidistant prime pairs in Goldbach's Prime Triangle for integers n > 2.

The Goldbach conjecture is that every even number is the sum of two primes.

			2 is largest even integer which is the sum of two primes in 0 ways, 12 is largest even integer which is the unordered sum of two primes in 1 way (5+7), etc.

Numbers that can be expressed as the sum of two primes in k ways for k=0..10: A014092 (k=0), A067187 (k=1), this sequence (k=2), A067189 (k=3), A067190 (k=4), A067191 (k=5), A066722 (k=6), A352229 (k=7), A352230 (k=8), A352231 (k=9), A352233 (k=10).

y = Select[Flatten@Table[Prime[i] + Prime[j], {i, 100}, {j, 1, i}], # < Prime[100] &]; Select[Union[y], Count[y, #] == 2 &] (* Robert Price, Apr 22 2025 *)

Corrected by Peter Bertok (peter(AT)bertok.com), who finds (Jan 13 2002) that there are no other terms below 10000 and conjectures there are no further terms in this sequence and A067189, A067190, etc.

R. K. Guy (Jan 14 2002) remarks: "I believe that these conjectures follow from a more general one by Hardy & Littlewood (probably in Some problems of 'partitio numerorum' III, on the expression of a number as a sum of primes, Acta Math. 44(1922) 1-70)."

A067189 Numbers that can be expressed as the sum of two primes in exactly three ways.
