COMMENTS
Minimal integer m such that m=p(n)+q=sum of 2 primes, where p(n)<=q is the n-th prime and there is no prime r<p(n) such that m-r is prime. - Robin Garcia, Feb 12 2005
The increasing subsequence k(n), such that for all m>n, k(m)>k(n) is A025018, and the associated sequence of primes is A025019. - David James Sycamore, Feb 05 2018

EXAMPLE
a(4)=30=7+23 because p(4)=7, q=23 is prime and there is no prime r<p(4)=7 such that a(4)-r is prime.
