Also squarefree composite k such that there exist no numbers m such that rad(m) | k and omega(m) > omega(k).
The only even term is 6.
Let P(i) = A002110(i). Numbers k = prime(i) * P(i+j)/P(i) < prime(i)^(i+j) with j ≥ 1 implies k such that omega(k) = j+1 is in the sequence.
The number k = p*m is a solution where squarefree m with lpf(m) > p is such that m < p^omega(m). For example, k = 5*7 is in the sequence since 7 < 5^2.
The number of a(n) such that lpf(a(n)) = p is finite. For example, the only terms divisible by 3 are {6, 15, 21}.

EXAMPLE
6 is in the sequence since floor(log_2 6) = 1+floor(log_2 3) = omega(6) = 2.
10 is not in the sequence since floor(log_2 5) = 2 and omega(10) = 2, thus 1+floor(log_2 5) > omega(10). Seen another way, 2^3 < 10, but omega(8) > omega(10).
15 is in the sequence since floor(log_3 15) = 1+floor(log_3 5) = omega(15) = 2.
21 is in the sequence because 1+floor(log_3 7) = omega(21) = 2.
33 = 3*11 is not in the sequence because 11 > 3^2.
115 = 5*23 is in the sequence because 23 < 5^2.
145 = 5*29 is not in the sequence since 29 > 5^2, etc.
