COMMENT

This is to semiprimes A001358 as A034694 is to primes A000040. Conjecture: every semiprime occurs in this sequence. a(21)-a(65) from Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Sep 21 2007

It is easy to prove that the first N>1 terms contain every semiprime < N. Assume the opposite: there is some semiprime pq that does not appear in the first pq-1 terms. This implies that n does not divide pq-1 for any n<pq. However, this is false because we can take n=pq-1. We see this behavior in the sequence quite often: a(5)=6, a(9)=10, a(13)=14, etc. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Sep 26 2007
