COMMENTS
6th cyclotomic polynomial evaluated at powers of 2.
Referred to as Kasami-Welch numbers by Aubry et al. (see links). The first prime values are a(1) = 3, a(2) = 13, a(4) = 241, a(32) = 18446744069414584321, no more for n less than or equal to 100. - Jonathan Vos Post, Sep 15 2009

FORMULA
From Mohammad K. Azarian, Jan 15 2009: (Start)
G.f.: 1/(1-4*x) - 1/(1-2*x) + 1/(1-x).
E.g.f.: e^(4*x) - e^(2*x) + e^x. (End)
