COMMENTS
Clearly all terms are semiprimes. a(0)=prime(1)^2=4. For n>=1, a(n)=k, a squarefree semiprime, where gpf(k)-lpf(k)=A006530(k)-A020639(k)=A030173(k).
For n > 0: first occurrences of A030173(n) in A046665. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 03 2015

EXAMPLE
a(3)=2*5=10 because 5-2=3=A030173(3), where the latter terms are ordered by the increasing possible differences between two distinct primes and no smaller composite number has a difference of 3 between its least and greatest prime factors.
