COMMENT

The 19th term, if it exists, is at least 1.1 * 10^12. - Fred Schneider (frederick.william.schneider(AT)gmail.com), Jan 05 2008

There can be at most 209 terms in this sequence. Any list of 210 consecutive numbers must contain a number n which is multiple of 2*3*5*7 = 210. So omega(n) would be >3. - Fred Schneider (frederick.william.schneider(AT)gmail.com), Jan 05 2008

Eggleton and MacDougall show that there are no more than 59 terms in this sequence. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Oct 13 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 644 because 644 = 2^2 * 7 * 23, so omega(644) = 3, 645 = 3*5*43, so omega(645) = 3 and 646 = 2*17*19, so omega(646) = 3 and no other number n < 644 has omega(n)=omega(n+1)=omega(n+2)=3.

MATHEMATICA

k = 1; Do[ While[ Union[ Table[ Length[ FactorInteger[i]], {i, k, k + n - 1}]] != {3}, k++ ]; Print[k], {n, 1, 16}]

PROGRAM

(PARI) k=1; for(i=1, 600000, s=1; for(j=1, k, if(omega(i+j-1)!=3, s=0, )); if(s==1, print1(i, ", "); k++; i--, ) )
