%N Number of irreducible Boolean polynomials of degree n.

%C Let B be the Boolean ring {0,1} with 0+0=0, 0+1=1+1=1, 0*0=0*1=0, 1*1=1 (0 = FALSE, 1 = TRUE, + = OR, * = AND); then a(n) = number of irreducible elements of degree n in the polynomial ring B[X].

%F a(n) + A169913(n) = 2^n.

%e a(0) = 1: 1.

%e a(1) = 2: X and X+1.

%e a(2) = 1: X^2+1 (note that X^2+X+1 = (X+1)^2 is reducible).

%e a(3) = 3: X^3+1, X^3+X+1, X^3+X^2+1.

%Y Cf. A001037, A169913, A169914.
