Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Semiprimes with greater factor less than twice the smaller factor.
%C A084127(a(n)) < A084126(a(n))*2; subsequence of A001358; A001248 is a subsequence.
%C Odd composite integers which do not have a representation as the sum of an even number of consecutive integers. For instance, 27 is not in the sequence because it has a representation as the sum of an even number of consecutive integers (2+3+4+5+6+7). 35 is in the sequence because it does not have such a representation. - _Andrew S. Plewe_, May 14 2007
%C Decker & Moree prove that this sequence has (x log 4)/(log x)^2 + O(x/(log x)^3) members up to x. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jul 07 2016
