[seqfan] Re: Is this right? Main diagonal A[n.n] of array A[k, n] = n-th natural number m such that m and m+2 are both divisible by exactly k primes (counted with multiplicity).

[Jack Brennen]

I get a different value for A[5,5]; I get 918.  Pretty sure that 464 
doesn't belong in Row 5.

I get 3, 33, 42, 196, 918, 6640, 24750, 246078, 781248, 6565374, 
25227774, ...

That's from a PARI/GP script that just iterates through all numbers
taking bigomega() of each one and looking for duplicates of the same
value at n and n+2.  Note that beyond A[11,11], as far as I got, the
brute force approach probably gets beaten badly by some sort of
sieving approach.  Note that in the range around 10^8 to 10^9, if
a number has 12 or more prime factors, a pretty good chunk of those
factors have to be single digit factors, and if two numbers n and
n+2 both have 12 or more prime factors, the only prime factor they
can share is 2, and one of the numbers has to have no more than a
single factor of 2.  So coming up with a sieve that dumps out the
numbers with bigomega(C) >= 12 and not divisible by 4 would be a
worthwhile exercise, but one that I don't have time for right now.  :)

I will let the script run for a while and see if it gets me A[12,12]
or A[13,13]; knowing those would be useful at least to check a
sieve-based implementation for correctness.
