Consider this equation.
Where n is an even number, (n-1) should be prime and
is a consecutive Prime and s is a constant (also a prime).Let n=4, yields
So far, the max number of consecutive prime formed is 6 for s<1,000,000

For n=6
Max number of consecutive primes is 6 for s<1,500,000

It seems for max consecutive primes for all n and s is 6.

There are plenty of four consecutive primes. Setting s to non-primes would make a single consecutive prime very rare or non-existence.

I have found 7 consecutive primes at higher s, could be more.

I think there would be an infinite max numbers of consecutive primes as s goes to infinity.

The max number of consecutive primes for s<10,000,000 still 7.

Dear Danaj can you list down the primes of 8 consecutive from your calculation? I am using mathematica and it is a bit slow. Mathematica got primality algorithm to verify the numbers, perhaps that makes it so slow. Anyway, thanks for the script, I am looking for a longer prime consecutive with the inputs.
Offline
This takes the 'p' values and computes the 8 's' values corresponding to prime[p+0], prime[p+1], ..., prime[p+7]. Of course the 's' values are prime and sequential, but we can also check that for each one, 34+3*s is also prime. I will note that the 34+3s results are not sequential primes -- it's hard to tell if this is expected in the original post, but your posted results don't have them sequential.
These are just the values for 8. The runs of 9 and 10 would also be runs of 8.
I'm surprised Mathematica isn't faster. It uses a BPSW+1MR for large inputs, and may drop the extra MR for these small numbers where BPSW is deterministic. That would match Pari and Perl/ntheory. The forprime() call does help since we can easily loop through the primes.

Thanks danaj..the idea is to get all the Pr as prime with the sequential prime-th (i.e. s). Mathematica uses PrimeQ, a good primality algorithm for small primes, for larger prime you can use provableprimeQ which verifies the number to be prime. This is why it takes so long and if your computer is slow it could take months. I am trying to get longer series, perhaps up to 40 consecutive primes. So far, 8 is the largest.

PrimeQ uses, from the best documentation I know of, BPSW + a base 3 strong probable prime test. BPSW is deterministic for 64-bit numbers like we're using, much less adding another M-R test. There should be no reason to use ProvablePrimeQ here. Or another way of looking at it: use PrimeQ, then for the few found examples, use ProvablePrimeQ -- if something comes up false then you have a great example of Mathematica doing something wrong.
Pari/GP has isprime() (like I put in the example) which is deterministic (BPSW then APR-CL if large), or ispseudoprime for just BPSW. They're identical for 64-bit inputs. Perl/ntheory has is_provable_prime() to do a proof, but similarly it is identical to is_prime or is_prob_prime for 64-bit inputs.
"So far, 8 is the largest." There is an example of 10, but I did not find anything higher than that.

Thanks danaj for the input. Can you list the 10 consecutive primes. Thanks again for the script.

It's in post 15: p=247752179

Table[Prime[247752179+i-1],{i,10}]or Perl/ntheory as:
perl -Mntheory=:all -E 'say nth_prime(247752179+$_) for 0..9;'or Pari/GP (slow) as:
for(i=0,9,print(prime(247752179+i)))or the faster but still much slower than the others Pari/GP:
s=prime(247752179); for(i=0,9,print(s);s=nextprime(s+1))Offline
Dear danaj, is it possible to run a program that you wrote using gpu processors with thousands of core doing the calculation? I am upgrading my computing power to mini-supercomputer using nvidia processors. It would be a great thing to find any series of in tens or perhaps near hundreds long series. If they don't exist then we can conjecture there would be no series longer than max number found so far.
