Numbers of the form 2^n - 2^m + 2^k - 1 for n > m > k > 0. - Robert Israel, Jan 11 2018
A000051 \ {2, 3} is a subsequence, since the base-2 representation of a number of the form 2^k+1 > 3 consists of a single 1, followed by a block of k-1 0's, followed by a last single 1. Also, A000215 \ {3} is another subsequence, since the base-2 representation of a Fermat number 2^(2^k)+1 > 3 consists of a single 1, followed by a block of 2^k-1 0's, followed by a last single 1. - Bernard Schott, Mar 09 2023
Numbers k such that A005811(k) = 3. - Michel Marcus, Mar 10 2023

EXAMPLE
115 = 1110011_2, which is a block of three 1's, followed by a block of two 0's, followed by a block of two 1's, so 115 is a term.
