FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} A384676(n-i)*binomial(n,i)*(-1)^i. - Alois P. Heinz, Jun 06 2025
EXAMPLE
The binomial transform of this sequence gives: 2, 5, 13, 37, 101, 271, 727, 1931, 5003, 12547, 30449, 71761, ... = A384676.
The prime 7 and various larger primes are missing from the new sequence because the transform would not consist of primes. For example,
2,5,13,33
3,8,20
5,12
7
and 33 is not prime, so we must eliminate 7.
