COMMENTS
All numbers in this sequence are odd since the symmetric representation of 2*p, p prime > 3, has two parts each of size 3*(p+1)/2, and that for 6 has one part of size 12.
A number in this sequence has the form p*q, p and q prime, 3 <= p and 2*p < q, since in this case 2*p <= floor((sqrt(8*p*q + 1) - 1)/2) < q so that 1's in row p*q of A237048 occur only in positions 1, 2, p and 2*p.
This sequence is a subsequence of A046388, hence of A006881, as well as of A174905, A241008 and A280107.
The two central parts of the symmetric representation of sigma(p*q), each of size (p+q)/2, meet on the diagonal when q = 2*p + 1 since in this case 2*p = floor((sqrt(8*p*q + 1) - 1)/2). These triangular numbers p*(2p+1) form sequence A156592, except for its first element 10, and form a subsequence of the diagonal in the associated irregular triangle of this sequence given in the Example section. They also are a subsequence of A264104. A function to compute the coordinates on the diagonal where the two central parts meet is defined in sequence A240542.
Except for missing 10 the intersection of this sequence and A298856 equals A156592.
EXAMPLE
21=3*7 is the smallest number in the sequence since 2*3<7.
1081=23*(2*23+1) is in the sequence; its central parts meet at 751 on the diagonal.
The semiprimes p*q can be arranged as an irregular triangle with rows and columns labeled by the respective odd primes:
q\p| 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23
