FORMULA

a(n) = A268930(n) - A268928(n). - Alexei Kourbatov, Jun 15 2020.

EXAMPLE

The first two primes of the form 6k-1 are 5 and 11, so a(1)=5. The next primes of this form are 17, 23, 29; the gaps 17-11 = 23-17 = 29-23 are not records so nothing is added to the sequence. The next prime of this form is 41 and the gap 41-29=12 is a new record, so a(2)=29.

PROG

(PARI) re=0; s=5; forprime(p=11, 1e8, if(p%6!=5, next); g=p-s; if(g>re, re=g; print1(s", ")); s=p)
