a(n) <= A093550(n) since here the factors do not occur necessarily to the first power, e.g. a(2)-1 = 20 = 2^2*5, therefore A093550(2) > a(2). - M. F. Hasler, May 20 2014
FORMULA
a[n_] := (For[m=2, !(Length[FactorInteger[m-1]]==n && Length[FactorInteger[m]]==n&&Length[FactorInteger[m+1]]==n), m++ ];m)
EXAMPLE
a(3)=645 because 644=2^2*7*23; 645=3*5*43; 646=2*17*19 and 645 is the smallest number m such that each of the numbers m-1, m and m+1 has 3 distinct prime divisors.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := (For[m=2, !(Length[FactorInteger[m-1]]==n && Length[FactorInteger[m]]==n&&Length[FactorInteger[m+1]]==n), m++ ]; m); Do[Print[a[n]], {n, 7}]
PROG
(PARI) a(n, m=2)=until(, for(k=-1, 1, omega(m-k)!=n&&(m+=2-k)&&next(2)); return(m)) \\ M. F. Hasler, May 20 2014
