COMMENTS

43 is the first prime which is not a member (see A102540).
Contains A001359 = lesser of twin primes.
A063637 is a subsequence. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 22 2010
In 1966 Chen proved that this sequence is infinite; his proof did not appear until 1973 due to the Cultural Revolution. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 12 2016

FORMULA
|
a(n)+2 = A139690(n).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(4) = 7 because 7 + 2 = 9 and 9 is a semiprime.
a(5) = 11 because 11 + 2 = 13, a prime.
