COMMENT
|
This is a semiprime analogue of A001348 Mersenne numbers. The semiprimes in this sequence are the analogues of A000668 Mersenne primes (of form 2^p - 1 where p is a prime). a(n) is semiprime when a(n) is an element of A092561, which happens for values of n beginning 1, 3, 17, which is A085724 INTERSECTION A001358 and has no more values under 1000. Would someone like to extend the latter set of indices j of semiprimes k = A001358(j) such that (2^k)-1 is semiprime?

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (2^A001358(n))-1.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = (2^4) - 1 = 15 because 4 is the 1st semiprime. Note that 15 = 3*5 is itself semiprime.
a(2) = (2^6) - 1 = 63 because 6 is the 2nd semiprime. Note that 63 = (3^2)*7 is not itself semiprime.
a(3) = (2^9) - 1 = 511 because 9 is the 3rd semiprime; and 511 = 7 * 73 is itself semiprime.
a(17) = (2^17)-1 = 562949953421311 = 127 * 4432676798593, itself semiprime.
