COMMENT

Primes are distinguished among the integers by having the fewest possible divisors. Among the primes, which primes are similarly distinguished? The distinguished primes have the fewest possible divisors in the neighborhood. Specifically, p is a distinguished prime iff together p-1, p, and p+1, have 7 or fewer prime factors, counting multiple factors. Of course, the definition could be adjusted to make 3, or even 2, the unique distinguished prime, but then the sequence of distinguished primes would be severly truncated.

EXAMPLE

19 is in the sequence because 18 has 3 prime factors, 2, 3, and 3,

19 has 1, and 20 has 3 prime factors, 2, 2, and 5, for a total of 7 prime factors in the neighborhood.
