%N Numbers sandwiched between two numbers having only one prime divisor (at least) one of which is composite.

%C Terms of A088071 which are not terms of A014574 (average of twin prime pairs).

%C Conjecture (1): Sequence is infinite. Conjecture (2): There are only finitely many terms which are sandwiched between composite numbers (26 is the only such term below 1000000).

%e 8 is a term since 7 is prime and 9 = 3*3 is composite; 26 is a term since 25 = 5*5 and 27 = 3*3*3 are both composite.

%o (PARI) {for(n=2,60000,if(matsize(factor(n-1))[1]*matsize(factor(n+1))[1]==1&&factor(n-1)[1,2]*factor(n+1)[1,2]>1,print1(n,",")))}

%Y Cf. A088071, A014574.
