If prime numbers were included the sequence would be 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19, 22, 23, 28, 29, ... which is A100118. - Hieronymus Fischer, Oct 20 2007
Conjecture: a(n) can be approximated with the formula c*n^k, where c is approximately 0.46 and k is approximately 1.05. - Elijah Beregovsky, May 01 2019
The ternary Goldbach Conjecture implies that this sequence contains infinitely many terms of A014612 (triprimes). - Elijah Beregovsky, Dec 17 2019
A proof that this sequence is infinite: There are infinitely many odd primes, let p2 > p1 > 2 be two odd primes, p2-p1=2*k then (2^k)*p1 is a term because 2*k+p1=p2 is prime. For example: 5+6=11, 6=2*3, 2^3*5=40 is a term. - Metin Sariyar, Dec 17 2019
Regarding the 2019 conjecture, with k the same, the correct value of "c" is greater than 5, based on data to n = 10^7. - Bill McEachen, Feb 17 2024
