Formula

a(2) = 1; for n >= 3, a(n) = a(n-1) if a(n-1)^2 - 17 is divisible by 2^(n+1), otherwise a(n-1) + 2^(n-1).

a(n) = 2^n - A341539(n).

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A322217(i)*2^i.

Example

The unique number k in [1, 4] and congruent to 1 modulo 4 such that k^2 - 17 is divisible by 8 is 1, so a(2) = 1.
a(2)^2 - 17 = -16 which is divisible by 16, so a(3) = a(2) = 1.
a(3)^2 - 17 = -16 which is not divisible by 32, so a(4) = a(3) + 2^3 = 9.
a(4)^2 - 17 = 64 which is divisible by 64, so a(5) = a(4) = 9.
a(5)^2 - 17 = 64 which is not divisible by 128, so a(6) = a(5) + 2^5 = 41.
...

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = truncate(sqrt(17+O(2^(n+1))))
