COMMENTS
Sequence A098845 lists indices of primes, i.e., a(n) prime <=> n=A098845(k) for some k.
Starting with n=2, binary numbers of the form (n-1)0(n) where n is the index and the number of 1's. It can also be formed by appending a 1 to the right of each term of A129868.
1/a(n) = Sum_{m>0} A000045(m)*2^(-n(m+1)) for n > 0. E.g., 1/a(4) = 0.0000 0001 0001 0010 0011 0101 1000 ... in binary. - Lee A. Newberg, Apr 12 2018
