COMMENTS
Jud McCranie reports that he was able to find a solution for each n <= 225 (2n <= 450) in just a few seconds. - Jul 05 2002
Is there a proof that this can always be done?
The Mathematica program for this sequence uses backtracking to find all solutions for a given n. To verify that at least one solution exists for a given n, the backtracking function be made to stop when the first solution is found. Solutions have been found for n <= 48. - T. D. Noe, Jun 19 2002
This sequence is from the prime circle problem. There is no known proof that a(n) > 0 for all n. However, for many n (see A072618 and A072676), we can prove that a(n) > 0. Also, the sequence A072616 seems to imply that there are always solutions in which the odd (or even) numbers are in order around the circle. - T. D. Noe, Jul 01 2002
Prime circles can apparently be generated for any n using the Mathematica programs given in A072676 and A072184. - T. D. Noe, Jul 08 2002
The following seems to always produce a solution: Work around the circle starting with 1 but after that always choosing the largest remaining number that fits. For example, if n = 4 this gives 1, 6, 7, 4, 3, 8, 5, 2. See A088643 for a sequence on a related idea. - Paul Boddington, Oct 30 2007
See A228917 for a similar conjecture on twin primes. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Sep 08 2013
See A242527 for a similar problem on the set of numbers {0 through (n-1)}. - Stanislav Sykora, May 30 2014
James Tilley and Stan Wagon report that all terms up to n = 10^6 are nonzero. Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 05 2016

One arrangement for 2n=6 is 1,4,3,2,5,6 and this is essentially unique, so a(3)=1.

a(n+1) < 2*a(n) fails for n = 1, 332 and other larger values of n. - Don Reble, Sep 07 2006
Here is one way to compute this sequence. Compute f_n(x) = Product_{k=1..n} 1+x^prime(k) = f_{n-1}(x) * (1+x^prime(n)). Then sum the coefficients of x^p in f_n(x) for p prime. You only need to look at primes <= the sum of the first n primes. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 07 2006
