A244412 Least even k such that sfdf(k-1) > sfdf(k-3) >= A050376(n), where sfdf(n) is the smallest Fermi-Dirac factor of n (A223490), and k-3 is not the lesser of a pair of Fermi-Dirac twin primes (A229064).

Examples
If k>=4 is even such that k-3 is either 1 or in A050376, then k cannot be a solution. Thus, if n=2, then k=4,6,8,10,12,14 are not allowed; for k=16 we have sfdf(16-1) = 3 < sfdf(16-3) = 13; finally, for k=18 we have sfdf(18-1) = 17 > sfdf(18-3) = 3 = A050376(2). Since 15 is not in A229064, then a(2)=18.
