COMMENTS

The sequence A189710 (n"=n'-1) includes all prime numbers because p'=1 and p" = 0. Composite numbers are not very frequent.

Are all terms semiprimes? These terms appear to be p*q such that p+q is a term in A054377, which has solutions to the equation n' = n-1. - T. D. Noe, Apr 27 2011

EXAMPLE

9' = 6, 9''= 6'= 5, 9" = 9'- 1 -> 9 is in the sequence.
