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

1 - m^k + m^(2*k) equals Phi(6*k,m) when k=2^p*3^q, p>=0, q>=0, which may be prime numbers for certain positive integer m>1.

The Mathematica program given here generates the first 33 terms. Further terms were generated by OpenPFGW.

a(62)=7426, while A003586(62)=3^8=6561.

FORMULA

a(n) = A085398(6*A003586(n)). - Jinyuan Wang, Jan 01 2023

EXAMPLE

n=1, A003586(1)=1, when m=2, 1-2^1+2^2=3 is prime, so a(1)=2;

n=2, A003586(2)=2, when m=2, 1-2^2+2^4=13 is prime, so a(2)=2;

...

n=7, A003586(7)=9, when m=7, 1-7^9+7^18=1628413557556843 is prime, so a(7)=7.
