COMMENTS

If there are no more Fermat primes, then 4294967295 is the last term in the sequence.

[Daniel Forgues, June 17 2011] (Start)

The 31 = 2^5 - 1 terms of this sequence are the non-empty products of distinct Fermat primes. The 5 known Fermat primes are in A019434.

Prepending the empty product, i.e. 1, to this sequence gives A004729.

The initial term for this sequence is thus a(1) (offset=1,) since a(0) should correspond to the omitted empty product, term a(0) of A004729.

Rows 1 to 31 of Sierpinski's triangle, if interpreted as a binary number converted to decimal (A001317) give a(1) to a(31) (End)
