COMMENTS

Intersection of A001358 and A242135.

Since n^3 - 2*n = n * (n^2 - 2), it follows that n and (n^2 - 2) both should be prime.

FORMULA

a(n) = A062326(n) * (A062326(n)^2 - 2). - Michel Marcus, Aug 26 2014

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 21: 3^3 - 2*3 = 27 - 6 = 21 = 3 * 7, which is semiprime.

a(3) = 115: 5^3 - 2*5 = 125 - 10 = 115 = 5 * 23, which is semiprime.

MAPLE

select(k -> numtheory:-bigomega(k)=2, [seq((n^3-2*n), n=1..500)]);

MATHEMATICA

Select[Table[n^3 - 2*n, {n, 1000}], PrimeOmega[#] == 2 &]
