A157372 Number of ways to write the (n+50)-th positive odd integer in the form p+2^x+51*2^y with p an odd prime and x,y positive integers. 1

%N Number of ways to write the (n+50)-th positive odd integer in the form p+2^x+51*2^y with p an odd prime and x,y positive integers.

%C Zhi-Wei Sun guessed that a(n)=0 if and only if n=1,2,3,127; in other words, except for 353, any odd integer greater than 105 can be written as the sum of an odd prime, a positive power of two and 51 times a positive power of two. D. S. McNeil has verified this for odd integers below 10^12. This is a part of the project for the form p+2^x+k*2^y with k=3,5,...,61 initiated by Zhi-Wei Sun in Jan. 2009.

%e For n = 9 the a(9) = 3 solutions are: 2*59-1 = 7+2^3+51*2 = 11+2^2+51*2 = 13+2+51*2.
