[seqfan] Re: A175075 A094743 repeated modulo operation or differences on primes: duplicates?

[Robert G. Wilson v]

Et al,

    Yes they are the same. The sequence A094743 comment correctly states 
that this sequence contains only 2 with the larger member of the twin 
primes. f[s_List] := Block[{p = NextPrime@ s[[-1]]}, While[ !PrimeQ[p - 2], 
p = NextPrime at p]; Append[s, p]]; Nest[f, {2}, 50]

    Then we only need to show that the sequence A175075 has the same set of 
primes.  Obviously if q == p + 2, then p&q are twin primes and q satisfies 
the criteria. If q is some other prime then the distance above p = 2*k, k 
being any integer > 1. Since taking {r mod (max prime p < r)} results in an 
odd parity, this iteration can never end at 2. fQ[p_] := Block[{r = p}, 
While[r > 2, r = Mod[r, NextPrime[r, -1]]]; r == 2]; Select[ Prime@ Range@ 
253, fQ]

Sincerely yours, Bob.
