EXAMPLE

a(2) = 6 because 2*6-2 = 10 and 2*6-3 = 9 are composite.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = Catch[For[m = 2, True, m++, If[And @@ (! PrimeQ[2*m - #] &) /@ Prime /@ Range[n], Throw[m]]]]; Table[ Print[a[n]]; a[n], {n, 1, 46}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 17 2012 *)

Module[{nn=50, prs}, prs=Prime[Range[nn]]; Table[SelectFirst[Range[50000], AllTrue[Table[2#-p, {p, Take[prs, n]}], CompositeQ]&], {n, nn}]] (* The program uses the AllTrue function from Mathematica version 10 *) (* Harvey P. Dale, Mar 18 2015 *)
