COMMENTS
| Semiprime analogue of A117301.
By construction, every entry is also the difference between two 4-almost primes: a(1) = A014613(4)-A014613(5); a(2) = A014613(9)-A014613(11); a(3) = A014613(16)-A014613(18); a(4) = A014613(27)-A014613(27); etc. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 27 2007

FORMULA
| a(n) = A001358(n)*A001358(n+3) - A001358(n+1)*A001358(n+2).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(1) = -14 because the determinant of the first block of 4 consecutive semiprimes is:
|4. 6.|
|9. 10|.
a(4) = 0 because the determinant of the 4th block of 4 semiprimes is the first of a presumably infinite number of singular matrices:
|10. 14.|
|15. 21.|.
a(8) = 76, the first positive value in the sequence:
|22. 25.|
|26. 33.|.

MAPLE
| A001358 := proc(n) option remember ; local a; if n = 1 then 4 ; else for a from A001358(n-1)+1 do if numtheory[bigomega](a)= 2 then RETURN(a) ; fi ; od: fi ; end: A118780 := proc(n) A001358(n)*A001358(n+3)-A001358(n+1)*A001358(n+2) ; end: seq(A118780(n), n=1..58) ; - R.
