COMMENTS

Gaps between consecutive primes whose reversal is a different prime. This is to Differences between consecutive primes (A001223) as emirps (A006567) are to primes (A000040). This was indirectly suggested to me in a facebook conversation with Kevin L. Schwartz. One may use this to derive other sequences: records in emirp gaps; lower of pair of consecutive emirps with record gap; larger of pair of emirps with record gaps, by analogy with A005250, A002386, A000101.

FORMULA

a(n) = A006567(n+1) - A006567(n).

EXAMPLE

The first 9 emirps are 13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73, 79, 97, 107.

Hence the first 8 gaps between consecutive emirps are:

17 - 13 = 4;

31 - 17 = 14;

37 - 31 = 6;

71 - 37 = 34;

73 - 71 = 2 (i.e., 71 and 73 are a pair of "twin prime emirps");
