n such that d(n) = d(n+1), where d(n) = prime(n+1) - prime(n) = A001223(n).
Of interest because when I generalize it to d(n) = d(n+2), d(n) = d(n+3), etc. I am unable to find any positive number k such that d(n) = d(n+k) has no solution.
From Lei Zhou, Dec 06 2005: (Start)
When (1/3)*(prime(k) + prime(k+1) + prime(k+2)) is prime, then it is equal to prime(k+1).
Also, indices k such that (prime(k)+prime(k+2))/2 = prime(k+1).
The Mathematica program is based on the alternative definition. (End)

Splitting the prime gaps into anti-runs gives: (1,2), (2,4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4,2,4,6), (6,2,6,4,2,6,4,6,8,4,2,4,2,4,14,4,6,2,10,2,6), (6,4,6), ... Then a(n) is the n-th partial sum of the lengths of these anti-runs. - _Gus Wiseman_, Mar 24 2020
