COMMENTS
In the prime factorization of k=A002808(i), i=1,2,3,..., one instance of the largest prime, pmax=A052369(i), is replaced by pmax-2 and one instance of the smallest prime, pmin=A056608(i), is replaced by pmin-1. If the product of this modified set of factors, k*(pmax-2)*(pmin-1)/(pmin*pmax), is prime, it is appended to the sequence.
EXAMPLE
composite k transformed product
----------- -------------------------
4 = 2*2 (2-1)*(2-2) = 1*0 = 0 (nonprime)
6 = 2*3 (2-1)*(3-2) = 1*1 = 1 (nonprime)
8 = 2*2*2 (2-1)*2*(2-2) = 1*2*0 = 0 (nonprime)
9 = 3*3 (3-1)*(3-2) = 2*1 = 2 = a(1)
10 = 2*5 (2-1)*(5-2) = 1*3 = 3 = a(2)
12 = 2*2*3 (2-1)*2*(3-2) = 1*2*1 = 2 = a(3)
14 = 2*7 (2-1)*(7-2) = 1*5 = 5 = a(4)
