COMMENTS

Because the cubic polynomial for centered dodecahedral numbers factors into n time an irreducible quadratic, the dodecahedral numbers can never be prime, but can be semiprime iff (2*n+1) is prime and (5*n^2+5*n+1) is prime. Centered dodecahedral numbers (A005904) are not to be confused with dodecahedral numbers (A006566) = n(3n-1)(3n-2)/2, nor with rhombic dodecahedral numbers (A005917).

FORMULA

n such that A001222(A005904(n)) = 2. n such that Bigomega((2*n+1)*(5*n^2 + 5*n + 1)). n such that A104011(n) = 2.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 because A005904(1) = 33 = 3 * 11, which is semiprime.

a(2) = 2 because A005904(2) = 155 = 5 * 31, which is semiprime.

a(3) = 3 because A005904(3) = 427 = 7 * 61, which is semiprime.

a(4) = 5 because A005904(5) = 1661 = 11 * 151.

194 is in this sequence because A005904(194) = 73579739 = 389 * 189151, which is semiprime.
