Starting from a(1)=2, a(n) = A028260(1+a(n-1)) if n is even, a(n) = A026424(a(n-1)) if n is odd.

COMMENTS
If a(1) were set to 3, the equivalent sequence would start 3, 9, 17, 38, 71, 146, 279,...
Alternatively starting from a(1)=4 we get 4, 10, 18, 39, 72, 150,..
EXAMPLE
a(2)= 6, the second integer containing an even number of prime factors.
a(3)= 11, the sixth integer containing an odd number of primes.
