Comments

a(n), 3*a(n)+4, 3*(3*a(n)+4)+4, ..., 3^(n-1)*a(n)+2*3^(n-1)-2 are in A175648 but 3^n*a(n)+2*3^n-2 is not.

Example

a(3) = 155 because 155, 3*155+4 = 469 and 3*469+4 = 1411 are in A175648 but 3*1411+4 = 4237 is not (155 = 5*31, 159 = 3*53, 469 = 7*67, 473 - 11*43, 1411 = 17*83, and 1415 = 5*283 are semiprimes, but 4241 is prime).

Maple
