COMMENTS

Define a sieve operation with parameter s that eliminates integers of the form s^2+s*i (i>=0) from the set A000027 of natural numbers. The sequence lists those natural numbers that are eliminated by the sieve s=2 and cannot be eliminated by any sieve s>=3. [R. J. Mathar, Jun 24 2009]

After a(3)=8 all terms are 2*prime; for n>3 a(n) = 2*prime(n-1) = 2*A000040(n-1). [Zak Seidov, Jul 18 2009]

A classification of the natural numbers A000027.

=============================================================

Numbers n such that their largest divisor <= sqrt(n) equals k

k       Sequence     Comment

=============================================================

1 ..... A008578      1 together with the prime numbers

2 ..... A161344      This sequence

The numbers n whose largest divisor <= sqrt(n) is k are exactly those numbers k*m where m is either a prime >= n or one of the numbers in row k of A163925. [Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 06 2009]
