FORMULA
{a(n)} = Intersection of {(2^K)*(3^L)+1} A055600 and semiprimes A001358. a(n) is in this sequence iff there exist nonnegative integers K and L such that Omega((2^K)*(3^L)+1) = 2.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 4 = (2^0)*(3^1)+1 = 2^2 hence the semiprime A001358(1).
a(2) = 9 = (2^3)*(3^0)+1 = 3^2 hence the semiprime A001358(3).
a(3) = 10 = (2^0)*(3^2)+1 = 2 * 5 hence the semiprime A001358(4).
a(4) = 25 = (2^3)*(3^1)+1 = 5^2 hence the semiprime A001358(9).
a(5) = 33 = (2^5)*(3^0)+1 = 3 * 11 hence the semiprime A001358(11).
a(6) = 49 = (2^4)*(3^1)+1 = 7^2 hence the semiprime A001358(17).
a(7) = 55 = (2^1)*(3^3)+1 = 5 * 11 hence the semiprime A001358(19).
