COMMENTS

A100951(a(n)) = 0;

Conjecture: the sequence is finite and full.

A weaker conjecture: every integer greater than 60 (or some larger value based on further search) may be partitioned into a prime p and a semiprime qr, where the prime p is bounded by ln(min(q,r)). Chen (1978) showed that all sufficiently large even numbers are the sum of a prime and the product of at most two primes. Zumkeller's conjecture effectively extends this from "even" to both even and odd integers. - Jonathan Vos Post, Nov 25 2004

Conjecture: Every positive integer can be represented as p*q-r with distinct primes p, q, r. - Zak Seidov, Aug 28 2012

EXAMPLE

A100949(60) = #{11+7*7, 5+5*11, 3+3*19, 2+2*29} = 4, but A100951(60) = 0 as in each partition only 2 primes are used, therefore 60 is a term.
