COMMENT

a(n) > 0 for all n > 2. a(n) > 1 for all n > 16. This is a semiprime (A001358) related sequence similar to the prime related Bertrand's postulate [1845] that, for n > 1, there is always at least one prime p such that n < p < 2*n. A060715 is the number of primes between n and 2n. A077463 is the number of primes between n and 2n-2.

FORMULA

a(n) = card{S such that S is an element of A001358 and n =< S =< 4*n/3}.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 0 because there is no semiprime from 1 through 4/3 = 1.3333...

a(2) = 0 because there is no semiprime from 2 through 8/3 = 2.6666...

a(3) = 1 because there is the semiprime 4 from 3 through 12/3 = 4.

CROSSREFS
