COMMENTS

Also number of distinct binary linear codes of length n and any dimension.

Equivalently, number of subgroups of the Abelian group (C_2)^n.

The subsequence of primes in this sum of Gaussian binomial coefficients begins: 2, 5, 67, no more through a(19). [From Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 11 2010]

FORMULA

O.g.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n / Product_{k=0..n} (1 - 2^k*x). - Paul D. Hanna, Dec 06 2007

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna, Nov 29 2008: (Start)

Coefficients of the square of the q-exponential of x evaluated at q=2, where the q-exponential of x = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/F(n) and F(n) = Product{i=1..n} (q^i-1)/(q-1) is the q-factorial of n.

G.f.: [Sum_{k=0..n} x^n/F(n)]^2 = Sum_{k=0..n} a(n)*x^n/F(n) where F(n)=A005329(n)=Product{i=1..n}(2^i - 1).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} F(n)/(F(k)*F(n-k)) where F(n)=A005329(n) is the 2-factorial of n.

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Product_{i=1..n-k} (2^(i+k) - 1)/(2^i - 1).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..A033638(n)} A083906(n,k)*2^k. (End)

EXAMPLE

O.g.f.: A(x) = 1/(1-x) + x/((1-x)*(1-2x)) + x^2/((1-x)*(1-2x)*(1-4x)) + x^3/((1-x)*(1-2x)*(1-4x)*(1-8x)) + ...

Also generated by iterated binomial transforms in the following way:

[1,2,5,16,67,374,2825,29212,...] = BINOMIAL([1,1,2,6,26,158,1330,..]);

[1,2,6,26,158,1330,15414,245578,...] = BINOMIAL([1,1,3,13,83,749,...]);

[1,3,13,83,749,9363,160877,...] = BINOMIAL^2([1,1,5,33,317,4361,...]);

[1,5,33,317,4361,82789,2148561,...] = BINOMIAL^4([1,1,9,97,1433,...]);

[1,9,97,1433,30545,902601,...] = BINOMIAL^8([1,1,17,321,7601,252833,...]);

etc.

faq[n_, q_] = Product[(1-q^(1+k))/(1-q), {k, 0, n-1}];

qbin[n_, m_, q_] = faq[n, q]/(faq[m, q]*faq[n-m, q]);

a[n_] := Sum[qbin[n, k, 2], {k, 0, n}]; a /@ Range[0, 19] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jul 21 2011 *)
