A119562 Let F(n) = 2^(2^n) + 1 = the n-th Fermat number, M(n) = 2^n - 1 = the n-th Mersenne number. Then a(n) = F(n) - M(n) + 1 = 2^(2^n) + 1 - (2^n - 1) + 1 = 2^(2^n) - 2^n + 3.

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..8.

Formula

a(n) = A001146(n)-A000079(n)+3 = A119564(n)+2. - R. J. Mathar, May 15 2007

Example

F(1) = 2^(2^1)+1 = 5
M(1) = 2^1-1 = 1
F(1) - M(2) + 1 = 5
