EXAMPLE
35 is included because 35 = 5*7 and both (5+2) and (7-2) are primes.
65 = 5*13 where the factors are members of twin prime pairs: (3,5) and (11,13), therefore a(29) = 65 is a term; but 69 is not because 69 = 3*23 and 23 = A007510(2) is a single prime.
MATHEMATICA
nmax = 15 (* corresponding to last twin prime pair (197, 199) *); tp[1] = 3; tp[n_] := tp[n] = (p = NextPrime[tp[n-1]]; While[ !PrimeQ[p+2], p = NextPrime[p]]; p); twins = Flatten[ Table[ {tp[n], tp[n]+2}, {n, 1, nmax}]]; max = Last[twins]; mult[twins_] := Select[ Union[ twins, Apply[ Times, Tuples[twins, {2}], {1}]], # <= max & ]; A062505 = Join[{1}, FixedPoint[mult, twins] ] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 23 2012 *)
