A221218 Let sequence B_n={b_m} be defined by: b_1=prime(n), b_2=prime(n+1); for m>=3, b_m=b_(m-2)+b_(m-1) if b_(m-2)+b_(m-1) is not semiprime, otherwise b_m is the least prime divisor of b_(m-2)+b_(m-1). Then a(n) is the maximal term of sequence B_n, or a(n)=0 if B_n is unbounded.

%N A221218 Let sequence B_n={b_m} be defined by: b_1=prime(n), b_2=prime(n+1); for m>=3, b_m=b_(m-2)+b_(m-1) if b_(m-2)+b_(m-1) is not semiprime, otherwise b_m is the least prime divisor of b_(m-2)+b_(m-1). Then a(n) is the maximal term of sequence B_n, or a(n)=0 if B_n is unbounded.
%C A221218 Conjecture: All a(n)>=570. Conjecture: All sequences B_n are eventually periodic.
%C A221218 Moreover, our first observations show that up to n=8, the lengths of the periods is 36.
%C A221218 _Peter J. C. Moses_ extended these observations and confirmed the same length 36 of all periods up to n=209.
%e A221218 In case n=1, B_1 essentially coincides with A214156 and thus a(1)=570 which is the maximal term of A214156.
%Y A221218 Cf. A214156.
