Consider the graph of symmetric primes where p and q are connected if |p-q| = gcd(p-1,q-1). This sequence is an irregular table where the n-th row lists the first symmetric prime in a connected component with n vertices, with one representative for each nonisomorphic graph. Within a row, graphs are ordered by increasing size of its initial prime.

%N Consider the graph of symmetric primes where p and q are connected if |p-q| = gcd(p-1,q-1). This sequence is an irregular table where the n-th row lists the first symmetric prime in a connected component with n vertices, with one representative for each nonisomorphic graph. Within a row, graphs are ordered by increasing size of its initial prime.

%C Row lengths are A001349(n); if the sequence is finite the last row may be shorter.

%C Kalmynin gives T(2, 1) = 3343 and proves that, under a conjecture which is intermediate between Dickson's conjecture and the Bateman-Horn-Stemmler conjecture, that this sequence is infinite.

%e T(2, 1) = 3343 has components {3343, 4457} which form the complete graph K_2.

%e T(3, 1) = 42293 has components {42293, 42487, 63439} which form the path graph P_3.

%e T(4, 1) = 70793 has components {70793, 106187, 106189, 123887} which form the claw graph.

%e T(4, 2) = 72053 has components {72053, 108079, 216157, 288209} which form the path graph P_4.
