Condition a(1) = 1 follows from minimality. Conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers: a(10^6) = 999994 and all numbers up to there have appeared at that point. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 15 2019

Examples

			a(1) = 1 by minimality.
a(2) = 2 as 2 is the smallest available integer not leading to a contradiction. Note that as 1 + 2 = 3 we already have one prime sum (on the required two) with the septet {1,2,a(3),a(4),a(5),a(6),a(7)}.
a(3) = 3 as 3 is the smallest available integer not leading to a contradiction. Note that as 2 + 3 = 5 we now have the two prime sums required with the septet {1,2,3,a(4),a(5),a(6),a(7)}.
a(4) = 7 as a(4) = 4, 5 or 6 would lead to a contradiction: indeed, the septets {1,2,3,4,a(5),a(6),a(7)}, {1,2,3,5,a(5),a(6),a(7)} and {1,2,3,6,a(5),a(6),a(7)} will produce more than the two required prime sums. With a(4) = 7 we have no contradiction as the septet {1,2,3,7,a(5),a(6),a(7)} has two prime sums so far: 1 + 2 = 3 and 2 + 3 = 5.
a(5) = 13 as a(5) = 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 would again lead to a contradiction (more than 2 prime sums with the septet); in combination with any other term before it, a(5) = 13 will produce only composite sums.
a(6) = 19 as 19 is the smallest available integer not leading to a contradiction: indeed, the septet {1,2,3,7,13,19,a(7)} shows two prime sums so far: 1 + 2 = 3 and 2 + 3 = 5.
a(7) = 23 as 23 is the smallest available integer not leading to a contradiction; indeed, the septet {1,2,3,7,13,19,23} shows now exactly two prime sums, which are 1 + 2 = 3 and 2 + 3 = 5.
a(8) = 5 as 5 is the smallest available integer not leading to a contradiction and producing exactly two prime sums with the septet {2,3,7,13,19,23,5}, which are 2 + 3 = 5 and 2 + 5 = 7.
And so on.

That is, there are 5 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 10 pairwise sums of any 5 consecutive terms.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers.
If so, then the restriction to [1..oo) is a permutation of the positive integers, but not the smallest such, which is given in A329563. It seems that the two sequences have no common terms beyond a(6) = 8, except for the accidental a(22) = 15 and maybe some later coincidences of this type. There also appears to be no other simple relation between the terms of these sequences, in contrast to, e.g., A055265 vs. A128280. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 12 2020

Examples

			For n = 0, we consider pairwise sums among the first 5 terms a(0..4), among which we must have 5 primes. To get a(4), consider first a(0..3) = (0, 1, 2, 3) and the pairwise sums (a(i) + a(j), 0 <= i < j <= 3) = (1; 2, 3; 3, 4, 5) among which there are 4 primes, counted with multiplicity (i.e., the prime 3 is there two times). So the additional term a(4) must give exactly one more prime sum with all of a(0..3). We find that 4 or 5 would give two more primes, but a(4) = 6 gives exactly one more, 1 + 6 = 7.
Now, for n = 1 we forget the initial 0 and consider the pairwise sums of the remaining terms {1, 2, 3, 6}. There are 3 prime sums, so the next term must give two more. The term 4 would give two more (1+4 and 3+4) primes, but thereafter we would have {2, 3, 6, 4} with only 2 prime sums and impossibility to add one term to get three more prime sums: 2+x, 6+x and 4+x can't be all prime for x > 1.
Therefore 4 isn't the next term, and we try a(5) = 5 which indeed gives the required number of primes, and also allows us to continue.

That is, there are 10 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 21 pairwise sums of any 7 consecutive terms.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers.
If it is, then the restriction to [1..oo) is a permutation of the positive integers, but maybe not the lexicographically earliest one with this property.
This is the first example of a sequence of this type for which the greedy choice of a(n) is frequently incorrect beyond the initial terms, see Examples.

Examples

			At the beginning of the sequence, we must avoid the choice of 6 or 7 for a(6): both appear to be possible at first sight, giving exactly 10 prime sums with n = 0 in the definition, but then make it impossible to find a successor term a(7) for which the definition is satisfied with n = 1.
The same happens again for a(37) and a(58), where the apparently possible value 19 resp. 46 must be avoided.

That is, there are 7 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 15 pairwise sums of any 6 consecutive terms.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers.

Examples

			For n = 1, we must forbid the greedy choice for a(6) which would be 6, which leads to a dead end: there is no possibility to find a subsequent term that would give 7 prime sums together with {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. If we take the next larger possibility, a(6) = 8, then it works for the next and all subsequent terms.

Examples

			For n = 0, we consider pairwise sums of the first 6 terms a(0..5) = (0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 24): We have (a(i) + a(j), 0 <= i < j < 6) = (1; 2, 3; 3, 4, 5; 6, 7, 8, 9; 24, 25, 26, 27, 30) among which there are 5 primes, counted with repetition. If one tries to take a(4) equal to 4 or 5, this yields already 6 primes among the pairwise sums of the first 5 terms, so the smallest possible choice is a(4) = 6, and thereafter any a(5) less than 24 would again yield too many prime sums. So (0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 24) is indeed the start of the lexicographically earliest nonnegative sequence with the required properties.
Then one finds that a(6) = 4 is possible, giving also 6 prime sums for n = 1, so this is the correct continuation (modulo later confirmation that the sequence can be continued without contradiction given this choice).
Next one finds that a(7) = 5 is also possible, and so on.

That is, there are 7 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 15 pairwise sums of any 6 consecutive terms.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers. The restriction to [1,oo) is then a permutation of the positive integers with the same property, but not the smallest one which is A329576 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, ...).
For n > 5, a(n) is the smallest number not used earlier such that the set a(n) + {a(n-5), ..., a(n-1)} has the same number of primes as a(n-6) + {a(n-5), ..., a(n-1)}. Such a number always exists, by definition of the sequence. (If it would not exist for a given n, this means the term a(n-1) (or earlier) "was wrong and must be corrected", so to say. Of course this only refers to an incorrect computation.)

Examples

			Using the smallest possible 5 initial terms a(0..4) = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), we have a total of 6 primes among the pairwise sums, namely 0+2, 0+3, 1+2, 1+4, 2+3 and 3+4. To satisfy the definition for n = 0, the next term a(5) must give exactly one more prime when added to these 5 initial terms. The smallest number with this property is 6, but this choice of a(5) would make it impossible to find a suitable a(7): Indeed, for n = 1 we must consider the pairwise sums of (1, 2, 3, 4, a(5), a(6)). If we had (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, a(6)), the first 5 terms would give 5 prime sums 1+2, 1+4, 1+6, 2+3 and 3+4. Then a(6) should give two more prime sums, which is easily possible, either with even a(6) such that 1+a(6) and 3+a(6) are prime, or odd a(6) such that two among {2, 4, 6} + a(6) are prime. Thereafter, for n = 2, we drop the 1 and include a(7) instead, which must produce the same number of prime sums when added to {2, 3, 4, 6, a(6)} as was the case for 1. For even a(6) this was 4 (1+2, 1+4, 1+6 and 1+a(6)), which is impossible to achieve with a(7) > 1, since 2+x, 4+x and 6+x can't be all prime for x > 1. For odd a(6) it is 3 (1+2, 1+4 and 1+6), which is also impossible as well for odd a(7) (same reason as before) as for even a(7) (since only 3 and a(6) are odd and can give a prime sum).
This shows that we can't take a(5) equal to 6, and must consider the next larger possibility, which is a(5) = 8 (with prime sum 3+8 = 11, while 7 would give more than one, 0+7 and 4+7). Now we find that the smallest possible a(6) = 5 yields a solution and all subsequent terms can also be chosen greedily.
