A139474 a(n) = ((2*sqrt(2) + 3)^(2^(prime(n) - 1) - 1) - (3 - 2*sqrt(2))^(2^(prime(n) - 1) - 1))/(4*sqrt(2)). 5

%N a(n) = ((2*sqrt(2) + 3)^(2^(prime(n) - 1) - 1) - (3 - 2*sqrt(2))^(2^(prime(n) - 1) - 1))/(4*sqrt(2)).

%C Next term a(5) has 783 decimal digits.

%C Conjecture of _Kenneth J Ramsey_ from May 16 2006 (see A001109): a(n) is divisible by 2^prime(n)-1 if and only 2^prime(n)-1 is a Mersenne prime.
