COMMENTS

A semiprime is a product of any two prime numbers. A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

After the first three terms, there appear to be no adjacent equal terms.

FORMULA

a(n) = A000720(A084127(n)).

EXAMPLE

The semiprimes are:

2*2, 2*3, 3*3, 2*5, 2*7, 3*5, 3*7, 2*11, 5*5, 2*13, ...

so the greater prime factors are:

2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 5, 7, 11, 5, 13, ...

with indices:

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3, 6, ...
