A Boolean relation matrix R is said to be convergent in its powers if in the sequence {R,R^2,R^3, ...} there is an m such that R^m = R^(m+1).
An idempotent Boolean relation matrix E is said to have a proper power primitive iff there is a convergent relation R with limit matrix E where R is not equal to E.
If an idempotent Boolean relation matrix E contains an identity matrix of order n-1 and (E-I_n)^2 = 0 then E has no proper power primitive. The converse is not true for n>=4. Consider {{1,0,1,0}, {0,1,0,1}, {0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0}}. The converse is erroneously stated and proved in Rosenblatt, Theorem 4.

FORMULA
a(n) = (n + 1)*A001831(n).
E.g.f.: x*A'(x) + A(x) where A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/n! exp((2^n-1)*x) is the e.g.f. for A001831.
MAPLE
a:= n-> (n+1)*add(binomial(n, k)*(2^k-1)^(n-k), k=0..n):
seq(a(n), n=0..18); # Alois P. Heinz, Feb 18 2023
