COMMENT

a(2n) = a(2n-1)+2.

Consider the number m formed from the first n digits of the repeating string 102010201020... as S(n). Obviously S(2n) = 10*S(2n-1). Also define Repunits (A002275) as R(n) = (10^n-1)/9 = {1, 11, 111, 1111, 11111, ...} and consider a generalized plateau number sequence as X(n) = (34*10^(n+2)-67)/3 = { 1111, 11311, 113311, 1133311, 11333311, ... }. Then S(4n-1) = 34*(10000^n-1)/3333 = 102*R(4n)/R(4) and S(4n+1) = (3400*10000^n-67)/3333 = X(4n)/R(4). Remarks communicated to Robert G.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 0 because 1 is neither prime nor semiprime.

a(2) = 2 because 10 = 2 * 5 is semiprime.

a(3) = 3 because 102 = 2 * 3 * 17, 3 prime factors.

a(4) = 5 because 1020 = 2^2 * 3 * 5 * 17, 5 prime factors with repetition (2 is counted twice because of 2^2 in factorization).

a(5) = 2 because 10201 = 101^2 is a semiprime (and a square) (and a palindrome)

a(6) = 4 because 102010 = 2 * 5 * 101^2
