COMMENTS

For n>1, largest semiprime whose sum of prime factors = 2n. Assumes the Goldbach conjecture is true. Also the largest semiprime <= n^2.

Also the greatest integer x such that x' = 2*n, or 0 if there is no such x, where x' is the arithmetic derivative (A003415). Bisection of A099303. The only even number without an anti-derivative is 2. All terms are <= n^2, with equality only when n is prime. It appears that a(n) = n^2 - k^2, where k is the least number such that both n-k and n+k are prime; k = A047160. It also appears that the anti-derivatives of even numbers are overwhelmingly semiprimes of the form n^2 - k^2. For example, 1000 has 28 anti-derivatives, all of this form. Sequence A189763 lists the even numbers that have anti-derivatives not of this form. - T. D. Noe, Apr 27 2011
