%N Smallest number m such that 2^n - m and 2^n + m are primes.

%C For n>=3 all terms are multiples of 3.

%C Conjecture: a(n) = O(n^3). - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 20 2015

%e a(1)=0 because 2^1 +/- 0 are primes; a(2)=1 because 2^2 -/+ 1 are primes;

%e a(33)=675 because 2^33 +/- 675 are closest (to each other) primes.
