COMMENTS

43 is the first prime which is not a member (see A102540).

Contains A001359 = lesser of twin primes.

A063637 is a subsequence. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Mar 22 2010]

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.
