COMMENTS
More precisely: minimum value for X=2 of polynomials P[X] with coefficients in GF(2) such that X^n+P[X] is primitive. Applications include maximum-length linear feedback shift registers with efficient implementation in software.
EXAMPLE
a(11)=5, or 101 in binary, representing the GF(2)[X] polynomial X^2+1, because X^11+X^2+1 is primitive, contrary to X^11, X^11+1, X^11+X^1, X^11+X^1+1 and X^11+X^2.
