There is a unique decomposition of the primes: provided the weight A117078(n) is > 0, we have prime(n) = weight * level + gap, or A000040(n) = A117078(n) * A117563(n) + a(n). - Rémi Eismann, Feb 14 2008
Let rho(m) = A179196(m), for any n, let m be an integer such that p_(rho(m)) <= p_n and p_(n+1) <= p_(rho(m+1)), then rho(m) <= n < n + 1 <= rho(m + 1), therefore a(n) = p_(n+1) - p_n <= p_rho(m+1) - p_rho(m) = A182873(m). For all rho(m) = A179196(m), a(rho(m)) < A165959(m). - John W. Nicholson, Dec 14 2011
A solution (modular square root) of x^2 == A001248(n) (mod A000040(n+1)). - L. Edson Jeffery, Oct 01 2014
There exists a constant C such that for n -> infinity, Cramer conjecture a(n) < C log^2 prime(n) is equivalent to (log prime(n+1)/log prime(n))^n < e^C. - Thomas Ordowski, Oct 11 2014
a(n) = A008347(n+1) - A008347(n-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 09 2015

lim sup_{n -> infinity} a(n)/log^2 prime(n) = C <==> lim sup_{n -> infinity}(log prime(n+1)/log prime(n))^n = e^C. - Thomas Ordowski, Mar 09 2015
a(A038664(n)) = 2*n and a(m) != 2*n for m < A038664(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 23 2015
If j and k are positive integers then there are no two consecutive primes gaps of the form 2+6j and 2+6k (A016933) or 4+6j and 4+6k (A016957). - Andres Cicuttin, Jul 14 2016
Conjecture: For any positive numbers x and y, there is an index k such that x/y = a(k)/a(k+1). - Andres Cicuttin, Sep 23 2018
Conjecture: For any three positive numbers x, y and j, there is an index k such that x/y = a(k)/a(k+j). - Andres Cicuttin, Sep 29 2018
Conjecture: For any three positive numbers x, y and j, there are infinitely many indices k such that x/y = a(k)/a(k+j). - Andres Cicuttin, Sep 29 2018
Row m of A174349 lists all indices n for which a(n) = 2m. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 26 2018
Since (6a, 6b) is an admissible pattern of gaps for any integers a, b > 0 (and also if other multiples of 6 are inserted in between), the above conjecture follows from the prime k-tuple conjecture which states that any admissible pattern occurs infinitely often (see, e.g., the Caldwell link). This also means that any subsequence a(n .. n+m) with n > 2 (as to exclude the untypical primes 2 and 3) should occur infinitely many times at other starting points n'. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 26 2018
Conjecture: Defining b(n,j,k) as the number of pairs of prime gaps {a(i),a(i+j)} such that i < n, j > 0, and a(i)/a(i+j) = k with k > 0, then
  lim_{n -> oo} b(n,j,k)/b(n,j,1/k) = 1, for any j > 0 and k > 0, and
  lim_{n -> oo} b(n,j,k1)/b(n,j,k2) = C with C = C(j,k1,k2) > 0. - Andres Cicuttin, Sep 01 2019

Conjecture: Limit_{N->oo} (Sum_{n=2..N} log(a(n))) / (Sum_{n=2..N} log(log(prime(n)))) = 1. - Alain Rocchelli, Dec 16 2022
Conjecture: The asymptotic limit of the average of log(a(n)) ~ log(log(prime(n))) - gamma (where gamma is Euler's constant). Also, for n tending to infinity, the geometric mean of a(n) is equivalent to log(prime(n)) / e^gamma. - Alain Rocchelli, Jan 23 2023
It has been conjectured that primes are distributed around their average spacing in a Poisson distribution (cf. D. A. Goldston in above links). This is the basis of the last two conjectures above. - Alain Rocchelli, Feb 10 2023

p + 1 = A045881(n) starts the smallest run of exactly 2n-1 successive composite numbers. - Lekraj Beedassy, Apr 23 2010

Weintraub gives upper bounds on a(252), a(255), a(264), a(273), and a(327) based on a search from 1.1 * 10^16 to 1.1 * 10^16 + 1.5 * 10^9, probably performed on a 1970s microcomputer. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 26 2022

			The following table, based on a very much larger table in the web page of Tomás Oliveira e Silva (see link) shows, for each gap g, P(g) = the smallest prime such that P(g)+g is the smallest prime number larger than P(g);
* marks a record-holder: g is a record-holder if P(g') > P(g) for all (even) g' > g, i.e., if all prime gaps are smaller than g for all primes smaller than P(g); P(g) is a record-holder if P(g') < P(g) for all (even) g' < g.
This table gives rise to many sequences: P(g) is A000230, the present sequence; P(g)* is A133430; the positions of the *'s in the P(g) column give A100180, A133430; g* is A005250; P(g*) is A002386; etc.

a(n) = number of primes p such that A014574(n) < p < A014574(n+1). - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 20 2012
Conjecture: a(n) < log(A014574(n))^2. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 21 2012
Conjecture: All positive integers are represented in this sequence. This is verified up to 184, by searching up to prime indexes of ~128000000. The rate of filling-in the smallest remaining gap among the integers, and the growth in the maximum value found, both slow down considerably relative to a fixed quantity of twin prime incidences examined in each pass. The maximum value found was 237. - Richard R. Forberg, Jul 28 2016
All positive integers below 312 are in this sequence. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 01 2016

It is conjectured that every positive integer except 1 occurs in the array.
From M. F. Hasler, Oct 19 2018: (Start)
The above conjecture is obviously true: the integer i appears in row (prime(i+1) - prime(i))/2.
Polignac's Conjecture states that all rows are of infinite length.
To ensure the sequence is well-defined in case the conjecture would not hold, we can use the convention that finite rows are continued by 0's. (End)
