Theorem
The following even integers cannot be expressed as the sum of $2$ prime numbers which are each one of a pair of twin primes:
- $2, 4, 94, 96, 98, 400, 402, 404, \ldots$
This sequence is A007534 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (N. J. A. Sloane (Ed.), 2008).
This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion. In particular: add a page to the effect that it is conjectured that this list is complete. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by adding this information. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Expand}} from the code.If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page. |
Proof
This theorem requires a proof. In particular: Can be demonstrated by brute force. A pseudocode program and a printout may be adequate, but first we need to develop a standard language-agnostic $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ pseudocode. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by crafting such a proof. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{ProofWanted}} from the code.If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page. |
