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”).

Irregular table read by rows, where row k lists the semiprimes, s*t (s<=t) in increasing order, where s and t are the smaller and larger parts of the partitions of m = 2k+2 into two parts.

%N Irregular table read by rows, where row k lists the semiprimes, s*t (s<=t) in increasing order, where s and t are the smaller and larger parts of the partitions of m = 2k+2 into two parts.

%C The sequence consists of the set {4} UNION {odd semiprimes}. Every odd semiprime in the sequence appears exactly twice since for each partition of m = s + t where s, t are prime, there exists another partition of the form 1 + s*t and vice versa.

%C If the Goldbach conjecture is true, each row of the table in the example will have at least one Goldbach partition, m = s + t, where s and t are prime. For each odd semiprime that makes its first appearance in the sequence, and thus in some row u = m/2-1 of the table, that semiprime will occur again exactly once in row v = (s*t-1)/2 as the partition 1 + s*t. Likewise, each odd semiprime that makes its second appearance in the sequence will be a partition of some m of the form s + t = 1 + pq in some row v where p and q are (odd) primes. Its first occurrence will appear earlier in row u = (p+q)/2-1 of the table (see example).
