COMMENTS
Equivalently, numbers n such that either 6n-1 or 6n+1 is composite (or both are).
Numbers k such that 36*k^2 - 1 is not a product of twin primes. - Artur Jasinski, Dec 12 2007
Apart from initial zero, union of A046953 and A046954. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 13 2014
From Bob Selcoe, Nov 18 2014: (Start)
Complementary sequence to A002822.
For all k >= 1, a(n) are the only positive numbers congruent to the following residue classes:
f == k (mod 6k+-1);
g == (5k-1) (mod 6k-1);
h == (5k+1) (mod 6k+1).
All numbers in classes g and h will be in this sequence; for class f, the quotient must be >= 1.
When determining which numbers are contained in this sequence, it is only necessary to evaluate f, g and h when the moduli are prime and the dividends are >= 2*k*(3*k - 1) (i.e., A033579(k)).

From Jason Kimberley, Oct 14 2015: (Start)
Numbers n such that A001222(A136017(n)) > 2.
The disjoint union of A060461, A121763, and A121765.

Conjecture 1: With u(k) = floor(k(k + 1)/4) one has A071538(a(u(k))*6) = a(u(k)) - u(k) + 1, for k >= 2 (u > 1).
Conjecture 2: In the interval [T(k-1)+1, T(k)], with T(k) = A000217(k), k >= 2, there exists at least one number that is not a member of the present sequence. (End)
Also: numbers of the form n*p +- round(p/6) with some positive integer n and prime p >= 5. [Proof available on demand.] - M. F. Hasler, Jun 25 2019

EXAMPLE
4 = 6ab - a - b with a = 1, b = 1.
6 = 6ab + a - b or 6ab - a + b with a = 1, b = 1.
5 cannot be obtained by any values of a and b in 6ab - a - b, 6ab - a + b, 6ab + a - b or 6ab + a + b.
