[seqfan] Re: semiprime (A001358) analogue of A181503 Slowest-growing sequence of primes where 1/(p+1) sums to 1...

[Maximilian Hasler]

Er,... my comment

should better be ignored -- it depends of course on the interpretation
of "least growing" ; and if we disregard the first few terms, then

a(k) = min{ x >= q^k/(q-1) | A001222(x)=2 }

would satisfy the criterion for any q>1 and asymptotically grow even
more slowly.

My apologies...

Maximilian
