%N Sub-perfect powers: perfect powers (squares, cubes etc.) minus 1.

%C Goldbach showed that Sum 1/a(n) = 1, see A214390, A214391.

%C The only primes in the sequence are 3,7,31,127,... the Mersenne primes (A000668). - _Zak Seidov_, Dec 08 2011

%C Repdigits of two or more digits, interpreted in the smallest possible base. E.g., the smallest base for 222 is 3, 222 in base 3 is 26, and 26 is in the sequence. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Aug 11 2014
