Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A326927
Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive integers such that for any n > 0, a(n+1)/a(n) = p^x * q^y where p and q are two distinct prime numbers and {abs(x), abs(y)} = {1, 2}.

COMMENTS
This sequence can be seen as a variant of the knight's tour described in A316667 transposed to the space with infinite dimensions described in A309817; two positions in N^N are at knight's distance if they differ exactly by 2 units alongside some axis and by 1 unit alongside some other axis.
Unlike A316667, this sequence is infinite.
FORMULA
n and A001222(a(n)) have opposite parity.
Odd-indexed terms belong to A028260, even-indexed terms belong to A026424.
EXAMPLE
The first terms, alongside a(n+1)/a(n), are:
n a(n) a(n+1)/a(n)

1 1 2^+2 * 3^+1
2 12 2^-2 * 3^+1

4 2 2^+2 * 3^+1
5 24 2^-2 * 3^+1
6 18 2^+1 * 3^-2
