Table of n, a(n) for n=1..98.

Formula

a(n) = A001358(n+2) - A001358(n).

Example

a(1) = 5 because 3rd semiprime - first semiprime = 9 - 4 = 5.
a(2) = 4 because semiprime(4) - semiprime(2) = 10 - 6 = 4.
a(3) = 5 because semiprime(5) - semiprime(3) = 14 - 9 = 5.
a(4) = 5 because semiprime(6) - semiprime(4) = 15 - 10 = 5.

Mathematica

t = Select[ Range@320, Plus @@ Last /@ FactorInteger@# == 2 &]; Drop[t, 2] - Drop[t, -2] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
