COMMENTS

Also number of bases for GF(2^n) over GF(2).
Also (apparently) number of n X n matrices over GF(2) having permanent = 1. - Hugo Pfoertner, Nov 14 2003
The previous comment is true because over GF(2) permanents and determinants are the same. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 07 2008
The number of automorphisms of (Z_2)^n (the direct product of n copies of Z_2). - Peter Eastwood, Apr 06 2015

FORMULA

Product(2^n-2^i, i=0..n-1); or 2^(n*(n-1)/2) * product( 2^i - 1, i=1..n).
a(n) = A203303(n+1)/A203303(n). - R. J. Mathar, Jan 06 2012
a(n) = (6*a(n-1)^2*a(n-3) - 8*a(n-1)*a(n-2)^2) / (a(n-2)*a(n-3)) for n > 2. - Seiichi Manyama, Oct 20 2016
