A070256 Define P(n,X) by the recursion P(1,X)=1, P(n+1,X)=(P(n,X)+X)^2; then a(1)=0 and for n>1 a(n) is the coefficient of X^(2^(n-2)) in P(n,X) of degree 2^(n-1). 0

COMMENTS

a(n) is the greatest coefficient in P(n,X). Next term is too large to include.

FORMULA

for n>4 2^(2^n)<a(n)<(5/2)^(2^n)

EXAMPLE

P(1,X)=1 then P(2,X)=(1+X)^2=X^2+2X+1, the coefficient of X^(2^(2-2))=X is 2=a(2). P(4,X)=x^8+12*x^7+58*x^6+146*x^5+207*x^4+166*x^3+71*x^2+14*x+1 and the coefficient of X^(2^(4-2))=X^4 is 207=a(4).

PROG

(PARI) u=1; for(n=2, 6, a=(u+x)^2; u=a; print1(polcoeff(u, 2^(n-2), x), ", "))
