Twin prime — A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by two. Except for the pair (2, 3), this is the smallest possible difference between two primes. Some examples of twin prime pairs are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29,… … Wikipedia
Twin Prime Search — (TPS) is a distributed computing project that looks for large twin primes. It uses the programs LLR (for primality testing) and NewPGen (for sieving). It was founded on April 13 2006 by Michael Kwok. TPS has found one twin prime, 2003663613… … Wikipedia
Twin prime conjecture — The twin prime conjecture is a famous unsolved problem in number theory that involves prime numbers. It states:: There are infinitely many primes p such that p + 2 is also prime. Such a pair of prime numbers is called a prime twin. The conjecture … Wikipedia

Prime gap — A prime gap is the difference between two successive prime numbers. The n th prime gap, denoted g n , is the difference between the ( n +1) th and the n th prime number, i.e.: g n = p n + 1 − p n .We have g 1 = 1, g 2 = g 3 = 2, and g 4 = 4. The… … Wikipedia
Prime k-tuple — In number theory, a prime k tuple is an ordered set of values (i.e. a vector) representing a repeatable pattern of prime numbers. A k tuple is represented as ( a , b , ...) to represent any set of values ( n + a , n + b , ...) for all values of n … Wikipedia
