COMMENT

This is analogous to Sophie Germain semiprimes A111153 and the chains shown are analogous to Cunningham chains of the second kind and Tomaszewski chains of the second kind. Define a 3n-1 semiprime chain of length k. This is a sequence of semiprimes s(1) < s(2) < ... < s(k) such that s(i+1) = 3*s(i) - 1 for i = 1, ..., k-1. Length 3: 9, 26, 77; 49, 146, 437; 65, 194, 581; 129, 386, 1157; 158, 473, 1418; 187, 562, 1685. Length 4: 74, 221, 662, 1985; 122, 365, 1094, 3281. Length 5: 21, 62, 185, 554, 1661.

FORMULA

{a(n)} = a(n) is an element of A001358 and 3*a(n)-1 is an element of A001358.

EXAMPLE

n s(n) 3 *s -1

1 9 = 3^2 26 = 2 * 13

2 21 = 3 * 7 62 = 2 * 31

3 22 = 2 * 11 65 = 5 * 13

4 25 = 5^2 74 = 2 * 37

5 26 = 2 * 13 77 = 7 * 11

6 49 = 7^2 146 = 2 * 73
