Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 59th year, we have over 358,000 sequences, and we’ve crossed 10,300 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS

If a(329) > 0 it is greater than 659*2^10000. - Robert Israel, Jul 01 2014

Indeed, a(329) > 659*2^100000 if it is nonzero. There does not appear to be a covering set, though, so probably a(329) > 0. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 02 2014

a(329) = 659*2^800516 - 1 (found by David W Linton in 2004). - Robert Israel, Jul 04 2014

Index entries for sequences of n such that k*2^n-1 (or k*2^n+1) is prime

EXAMPLE

a(5)=43 because 2*5+1=11 and smallest prime of the form 11*2^m-1 is 43 (since 10 and 21 are not prime)
