A127936 Numbers n such that 1 + Sum_{i=1..n} 2^(2i-1) is prime. 13

%N Numbers n such that 1 + Sum_{i=1..n} 2^(2i-1) is prime.

%C If this sequence is infinite then so is A124401.

%C Equals A127965(n)/2.

%C The sum has the simple closed form 1 + 2/3*(4^n-1). - _Stefan Steinerberger_, Nov 24 2007

%C Terms beyond a(30) correspond to probable primes, cf. A000978. - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 29 2008

%F a(n) = floor(A000978(n)/2) = ceiling(log(4)(A000979(n))); A000978(n) = 2 a(n) + 1; A000979(n) = (2*4^a(n)+1)/3. - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 29 2008

%e a(1)=1 because 1 + 2 = 3 is prime;

%e a(2)=2 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 = 11 is prime;

%e a(3)=3 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 + 2^5 = 43 is prime;

%e a(4)=5 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 + 2^5 + 2^7 + 2^9 = 683 is prime;
