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”).

Given the sequence of the sums of the divisors of the semiprimes, this is the subsequence where each sum is an even number.

%N Given the sequence of the sums of the divisors of the semiprimes, this is the subsequence where each sum is an even number.

%C This is the sequence of the sums of the divisors of the n-th semiprime, with all the odd entries removed. Goldbach's Conjecture states that this sequence will include all even integers greater than or equal to 4. This sequence is in some ways the order in which Goldbach's Conjecture is satisfied.

%e a(7)=12 since the seventh semiprime whose two factors sum to an even number is 35, since 35=5*7 and 5+7=12.

%t PrimeFactorExponentsAdded[n_] := Plus @@ Flatten[Table[ #[[2]], {1}] & /@ FactorInteger[n]]; PrimeFactorsAdded[n_] := Plus @@ Flatten[Table[ #[[1]]*#[[2]], {1}] & /@ FactorInteger[n]]; SumOfFactorsOfSemiprimes[n_] := Table[PrimeFactorsAdded[Part[Select[Range[n*n], PrimeFactorExponentsAdded[ # ] == 2 &], a]], {a, 1, n}]; GenerateA090967[n_] := Select[SumOfFactorsOfSemiprimes[n], Mod[ #, 2] == 0 &]; GenerateA090967[100] would give the first 100 terms of the sequence.
