COMMENTS
Numbers k such that total number of prime factors (with multiplicity) of the average of k-th twin prime pair is a record.
The records are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, ... and the associated twin primes recorded in A086827. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 24 2007
FORMULA
a(n) = {k such that A001222(A014574(k)) is a record}.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because A078571(1) = 2, since the average of twin prime pair (3,5) is 4 = 2^2 is a semiprime with two prime factors (with multiplicity).
a(2) = 3 because A078571(3) = smallomega(12) = 3.
a(3) = 7 because A078571(7) = smallomega(60) = 4.
a(4) = 8 because A078571(8) = smallomega(72) = 5.
a(5) = 14 because A078571(14) = smallomega(192) = 7.
a(6) = 41 because A078571(41) = smallomega(1152) = smallomega(2^7 * 3^2) = 9.
