COMMENTS
Complement of A033845 with respect to A003586. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 25 2008
In the 14th century, Levi Ben Gerson proved that the only pairs of terms which differ by 1 are (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), and (8, 9); see A235365, A235366, A236210. - Jonathan Sondow, Jan 20 2014
Numbers n such that absolute value of the greatest prime factor of n minus the smallest prime not dividing n is 1 (that is, abs(A006530(n)-A053669(n)) = 1). - Anthony Browne, Jun 26 2016
Deficient 3-smooth numbers, i.e., intersection of A005100 and A003586. - Amiram Eldar, Jun 03 2022
