COMMENTS

Composite numbers that are nearer to the immediately previous prime than to the immediately next prime.

Members of this sequence are the numbers C, necessarily composite, such that P_n < C < I_n, where P_n is the n-th odd prime and I_n the interprime (A024675) between P_n and P_n+1.

Prime-free subsequence of A264720.
