EXAMPLE
a(3) = 2 because the 3rd of the Lucas numbers (beginning at 2) is A000032(3) = 4 = 2^2, hence depending on whether one means by second-smallest prime factor (i.e., distinct or not, with multiplicity or not) a(3) would be either 2 or 1.
a(10) is unambiguously 41, because L(10) = 123 = 3 * 41, and 41 is the second-smallest prime factor, with no issues of multiplicity or distinctness.
