COMMENTS
Or, binary irreducible polynomials, interpreted as binary vectors, then written in base 10.
The numbers {a(n)} are a subset of the set {A206074}. - Thomas Ordowski, Feb 21 2014
2^n - 1 is a term if and only if n = 2 or n is a prime and 2 is a primitive root modulo n. - Jianing Song, May 10 2021
For odd k, k is a term if and only if binary_reverse(k) = A145341((k+1)/2) is. - Joerg Arndt and Jianing Song, May 10 2021
EXAMPLE
x^4 + x^3 + 1 -> 16+8+1 = 25. Or, x^4 + x^3 + 1 -> 11001 (binary) = 25 (decimal).
