 OFFSET 1,1 COMMENTS Such a prime always exists. The sequence is unbounded. Conjecture. For n >= 2, a(n) is a lesser of twin primes (A001359). This implies the twin prime conjecture. - Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 15 2011 If a member of this sequence is not the lesser of a twin prime pair, it is greater than 10^10. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 15 2011 A dual sequence: b(n)= least prime p for which there is no prime between n*q and n*p, where q is the previous prime before p. Evidently, b(n) is the next prime after a(n): 3,61,73,31,..., and for n>=2, by the same conjecture, b(n) is a greater of twin primes.
