COMMENTS

Since for some a < n, 2^a = 1 (mod n) (a consequence of Euler's Theorem), searching up to k=n is sufficient to determine whether an integer is in the sequence. [From Michael Porter, Dec 06 2009]

A195470(a(n)) > 0; A195610(n) gives the smallest k such that a(n) divides 2^k + 1. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 21 2011]
