COMMENTS
Union of A088483 and A120364.
3 is the only prime such that p^2-p-1 and p^2+p-1 are both the smallest of a prime twin pair.
For prime p > 3 if p+1 is divisible by 6 then the smallest prime of the prime twin pair is p^2+p-1 and p^2-p-1 if not.
EXAMPLE
2^2+2-1=5 and (5,7) is a twin prime pair so a(1)=2.
3^2-3-1=5, 3^2+3-1=11 and (5,7), (11,13) are twin prime pairs so a(2)=3.
5^2+5-1=29 and (29,31) is a twin prime pair so a(3)=5.
7^2-7-1=41 and (41,43) is a twin prime pair so a(4)=7.
