COMMENTS

Define partial sums S(N) = sum_{n=1..N} n and T(N) = sum_{n=1..N} a(n). Then T(N)/S(N) -> approx 0.435 as N->infinity.

EXAMPLE

n=1: 2*2*(2*2+1)-1=19 prime so k=1 as 2=prime(1). n=2: 2*2^2*(2*2^2+1)-1=71 prime so k=1 as 2=prime(1).

MAPLE

A179206 := proc(n) local k, pk; for k from 1 do pk := ithprime(k)*2^n ; if isprime(pk*(pk+1)-1) then return k; end if; end do: end proc:
