COMMENTS
| Note: k must be of the form 2^m (see A058064 for the m values).
Conjecture: For all pairs of relative prime numbers (x, y) there exists at least one number n=2^m and one prime number p such p=x^n+y^n. This sequence show one case of this conjecture where y=x+1. - Tomas Xordan (xordan.tom(AT)gmail.com), Jun 02 2007
