COMMENTS

Numbers n such that phi(n)+sigma(n)=2*(n+1) - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 02 2002

n such that tau(n)=omega(n)^omega(n) - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 10 2002

Could also be called squarefree semiprimes (or 2-almost primes). - Rick L. Shepherd, May 11 2003

Goldston et al. proved that lim inf [as n approaches infinity] (a(n+1) - a(n)) =< 26. If an appropriate generalization of the Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture is true, then the above bound can be improved to 6. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 20 2005

A000005(a(n)^(k-1)) = A000290(k) for all k>0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2007

The maximal number of consecutive integers in this sequence is 3 - there can not be 4 consecutive integers because one of them would be divisible by 4 and therefore would not be product of distinct primes. There are several examples of 3 consecutive integers in this sequence. The first one is 33=3.11, 34=2.17, 35=5.7. - Matias Saucedo (solomatias(AT)yahoo.com.ar), Mar 15 2008

A109810(a(n)) = 4; A178254(a(n)) = 6. [From Reinhard Zumkeller, May 24 2010]

A056595(a(n)) = 3. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 15 2011]

a(n) = A096916(n) * A070647(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 23 2011]
