COMMENTS

The Goldbach conjecture is that every even number >= 4 is the sum of two primes.

FORMULA

a(n) = max({A000954(i),i=0..n}). - Robert Israel, Mar 21 2016

EXAMPLE

a(1) is 12 because it is the largest even integer having only 1 distinct way to express it as the sum of two primes (7+5) and a(0) < 12.
