COMMENTS

a(n)=(n-1)-st elementary symmetric function of {2,4,6,16,...,2^n); see Mathematica program.

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^((n+1)(n+2)/2) - 2^(n(n+1)/2). [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 08 2009]

EXAMPLE

Let esf "abbreviate elementary symmetric function".  Then

0th esf of {2} is 1.

1st efs of {2,4} is 2+4=6.

2nd efs of {2,4,8} is 2*4+2*8+4*8=56.

MATHEMATICA

f[k_] := 2^k; t[n_] := Table[f[k], {k, 1, n}]

a[n_] := SymmetricPolynomial[n - 1, t[n]]

Table[a[n], {n, 1, 16}] (* A122743 *)
