A079153
Primes p such that both p-1 and p+1 have at most 3 prime factors, counted with multiplicity; i.e., primes p such that bigomega(p-1) <= 3 and bigomega(p+1) <= 3, where bigomega(n) = A001222(n).

COMMENTS
Sum of reciprocals ~ 1.495. There are 3528 primes of this kind <= 10^7.
From a(7) = 19 onward, this sequence is identical to A063644(n-6). - Robin Saunders, Sep 22 2014

EXAMPLE
907 is in the sequence because both 907-1 = 2*3*151 and 907+1 = 2*2*227 have 3 prime factors.
