COMMENTS

This is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m, then a(n) divides a(m). The point at infinity is counted also. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 12 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^n + 1 - b(n), b(n)=b(n-1)-2*b(n-2), b(1)=1, b(2)=-3. b(n)=A002249(n).

G.f.: -2*x*(-1+2*x^2) / ( (x-1)*(2*x-1)*(2*x^2-x+1) ).
