Conjecture: Every prime of the form 4*k+1 (A002144) is contained in the sequence {2*a(n)-1}.
The author's former conjecture that, for n>=2 the numbers {2*a(n)-1} are consecutive primes of the form 4*k+1, was disproved at n = 553 by Peter J. C. Moses. (553*2 - 1 = 1105 is the smallest term which is a product of three distinct (4*k+1)-primes). - Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 27 2017
553 is also (after 1) the smallest number which is missing from A119681 but is present here. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 29 2017

FORMULA
If the conjecture is true, then for n>=2, a(n) <= (A002144(n-1) + 1)/2 (the equality holds up to 90).
