FORMULA

(2+2)(2+4)(2+8)(2+16)...(2+2^n ).

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Sep 16 2009: (Start)

G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 2^(n*(n+1)/2) * x^n/[Product_{k=1..n+1} (1-2^k*x)];

contrast with:

1 = Sum_{n>=0} 2^(n*(n+1)/2) * x^n/[Product_{k=1..n+1} (1+2^k*x)]. (End)

MAPLE

a[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 16 do a[n]:=(2^n+2)*a[n-1] od: seq(a[n], n=0..16); (Deutsch)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=polcoeff(sum(m=0, n, 2^(m*(m+1)/2)*x^m/prod(k=1, m+1, 1-2^k*x+x*O(x^n))), n)} [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Sep 16 2009]
