So 46 cannot occur in the sequence. - _Jack Brennen_, Jul 23 2014 %C A245486 More generally, let m = A014664(i), i >= 2. If m is odd, 2*A000040(i) occurs in the sequence iff A000040(i) = A006530(2^m-1), in which case it is a(2^m-1). If m is even, 2*A000040(i) occurs in the sequence iff A000040(i) = A006530(2^(m/2)+1), in which case it is a(2^m). - _Robert Israel_, Jul 24 2014 %C A245486 If a(n) = prime(i)*prime(j), where i < j, then n <= A002072(j). Using this, it can be shown that 3*89 does not occur in the sequence. - _Robert Israel_, Jul 24 2014 %C A245486 This sequence has an infinite limit; equivalently, each value in A006881 occurs only finitely many times in it.
