COMMENTS

These are the odd square-free semiprimes.

These numbers n have the property that n is a Fermat pseudoprime for at least two bases 1 < b < n - 1. That is, b^(n - 1) = 1 (mod n). See sequence A175101 for a count of the number of bases. - Karsten Meyer, Dec 02, 2010

The new Mathematica function returns the next element of this sequence after integer n. This program is more efficient than the original one that was based on sorting and selecting. - Lei Zhou, Dec 11 2012
