Numbers of the form p*q where p and q are primes, not necessarily distinct.
These numbers are sometimes called semiprimes or 2-almost primes.
Numbers n such that Omega(n) = 2 where Omega(n) = A001222(n) is the sum of the exponents in the prime decomposition of n.
Complement of A100959; A064911(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 22 2004
The graph of this sequence appears to be a straight line with slope 4. However, the asymptotic formula shows that the linearity is an illusion and in fact a(n)/n ~ log(n)/log(log(n)) goes to infinity. See also the graph of A066265 = number of semiprimes < 10^n.
For numbers between 33 and 15495, semiprimes are more plentiful than any other k-almost prime. See A125149.
Numbers that are divisible by exactly 2 prime powers (not including 1). - Jason Kimberley, Oct 02 2011
The (disjoint) union of A006881 and A001248. - Jason Kimberley, Nov 11 2015
An equivalent definition of this sequence is a'(n) = smallest composite number which is not divided by any smaller composite number a'(1),...,a'(n-1). - Meir-Simchah Panzer, Jun 22 2016
The above characterization can be simplified to "Composite numbers not divisible by a smaller term." This shows that this is the equivalent of primes computed via Eratosthenes's sieve, but starting with the set of composite numbers (i.e., complement of 1 union primes) instead of all positive integers > 1. It's easy to see that iterating the method (using Eratosthenes's sieve each time on the remaining numbers, complement of the previously computed set) yields numbers with bigomega = k for k = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., i.e., {1}, A000040, this, A014612, etc. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 24 2019
For all n except n = 2, a(n) is a deficient number. - Amrit Awasthi, Sep 10 2024
It is reasonable to assume that the "comforting numbers" which John T. Williams found in Chapter 3 of Milne's book "The House at Pooh Corner" are these semiprimes. Winnie-the-Pooh wonders whether he has 14 or 15 honey pots and concludes: "It's sort of comforting." To arrange a semiprime number of honey pots in a rectangular way, let's say on a shelf, with the larger divisor parallel to the wall, there is only one solution and this is for a simple mind like Winnie-the-Pooh comforting. - Ruediger Jehn, Dec 12 2024

This is the sum of distinct squarefree semiprimes with prime indices summing to n + 1. A squarefree semiprime is a product of any two distinct prime numbers. A prime index of n is a number m such that the m-th prime number divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. - Gus Wiseman, Dec 05 2020

If we define a triangle whose n-th row consists of all squarefree numbers whose prime factors are all less than prime(k), we get this same triangle except starting with a row {1}, with offset 1. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 24 2021

			Triangle begins:
1, 2;                        squarefree and 2-smooth
1, 2, 3, 6;                  squarefree and 3-smooth
