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. In fact a(n) = n^2 - k^2, where k is the least number such that both n-k and n+k are prime; k = A047160(n). It 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

FORMULA
a(n) = n^2 - A047160(n)^2. - Jason Kimberley, Jun 26 2012
EXAMPLE
n=13: 2n = 26; 26 = 23 + 3 = 19 + 7 = 13 + 13; 13*13 = maximal => p*q = 13*13 = 169.
