A052999 Take n-th prime p, let P(p) = all primes that can be obtained by permuting the digits of p and possibly adding or omitting zeros; a(n) = |p-q| where q in P(p) is the closest to p but different from p (a(n)=0 if no such q exists).

Comments

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for n > 4. - Sean A. Irvine, Nov 23 2021

Examples

			a(6)=18 since 6th prime is 13 and 31-13=18. a(9)=1980 because 9th prime is 23 and the smallest prime in P(6) different from 23 is 2003; 2003-23=1980.
a(23)=(8*10^31+3)-83 because 8*10^31+3 is closest prime distinct from 83 but in P(83). - _Sean A. Irvine_, Nov 23 2021
