COMMENTS

In the prime number decomposition of k=A002808(i), i=1,2,3,.., one instance of the largest prime, pmax=A052369(i), is replaced by pmax-1 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-1)*(pmin-1)/(pmin*pmax), is nonprime, it is added to the sequence.

EXAMPLE

If k(1)=4=(p(max)=2)*(p(min)=2), then (2-1)*(2-1)=1*1=1=a(1).

If k(2)=6=(p(max)=3)*(p(min)=2), then (3-1)*(2-1)=2*1=2 (prime).

If k(3)=8=(p(max)=2)*(p=2)*(p(min)=2), then (2-1)*2*(2-1)=1*2*1=2 (prime).

If k(4)=9=(p(max)=3)*(p(min)=3), then (3-1)*(3-1)=2*2=4=a(2).

If k(5)=10=(p(max)=5)*(p(min)=2), then (5-1)*(2-1)=4*1=4=a(3).

If k(6)=12=(p(max)=3)*(p=2)*(p(min)=2), then (3-1)*2*(2-1)=2*2*1=4=a(4).

If k(7)=14=(p(max)=7)*(p(min)=2), then (7-1)*(2-1)=6*1=6=a(5).

If k(8)=15=(p(max)=5)*(p(min)=3), then (5-1)*(3-1)=4*2=8=a(6),

If k(9)=16=(p(max)=2)*2*2*(p(min)=2), then (2-1)*2*2*(2-1)=1*2*2*1=4=a(7).

If k(10)=18=(p(max)=3)*(p=3)*(p(min)=2), then (3-1)*3*(2-1)=2*3*1=6=a(8), etc.
