A338055 Lexicographically earliest infinite sequence {a(n)} of distinct positive numbers such that, for n>2, a(n) has a common factor with a(n-1) involving only primes <= 11 but no such common factor with a(n-2) (primes > 11 play no role in this definition).

%C A338055 Let p_i denote the i-th prime. If the prime decompositions of x and y are
%C A338055    x = Product_{i=1..5} p_i^e_i*q_x, y = Product_{i=1..5} p_i^f_i*q_y,
%C A338055 then we define gcd_11(x, y) to be Product_{i=1..5} p_i^min{e_i, f_i}.
%C A338055 The sequence is the lexicographically earliest infinite sequence {a(n)} of distinct positive numbers such that, for n>2, gcd_11(a(n), a(n-1)) > 1 and gcd_11(a(n), a(n-2)) = 1.
%C A338055 An analog of A336957, but using only the first five primes.
%C A338055 Frank Stevenson has proved that a(n) always exists, something that is not true if only the primes 2, 3, 5, 7 are used.  He remarks that because the small primes 13, 17, 19, ... cannot be used in the construction, some numbers take a long time to appear - are very late, in the terminology of A338053.
%C A338055 As can be seen from the graph, this is a much more irregular sequence than A336957.
