COMMENT

Generated by a sieve: start with natural numbers, remove those terms which occupy positions which are prime, leaving 1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,...; remove those terms whose positions are primes plus one; leaving 1,4,9,12,15,16,18,...; remove those whose positions are primes plus two; continue. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 06 2008

Number of terms <= 10^k, k=0..: 1, 3, 8, 18, 34, 54, 80, 110, 147, 188, 235, 287, 345, 407, 475, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 06 2008

The first occurrence of a k-almost prime or 0 if not present: 1, 0, 4, 78, 16, 696, 5016, 95920, 46144, 10236034900, 600374208, 1613472, 21565696412400, 0, 24323590656, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 06 2008
