COMMENTS

Extends Euler's 6-term sequence.

In Euler's 6-term sequence we have noticed that e(1) = 2 = 2^0 + 1; e(2) = 3 = 2^1 + 3^0; e(3) = 5 = 2^2 + 1; e(4) = 11 = 2^3 + 3^1; e(5) = 17 = 2^4 + 1; e(6) = 41 = 2^5 + 3^2, which of course immediately leads to our formula above. Note: For m>0, we take m^(1/2) to be the unique positive square root of m.

EXAMPLE

a(2^n + 1), n=0,1,2,... are the Fermat numbers.
