Abstract

Let f(n)=minpnpf(n)=\min_{p} |n-p|, where pp is a prime. We show that there is a positive constant δ\delta such that for any large integer NN there exist two positive integers n1n_1 and n2n_2 such that N=n1+n2N=n_1 + n_2 and f(ni)lnN(lnlnN)δf(n_i)\gg \ln N (\ln\ln N)^{\delta}, i=1,2i=1, 2.
