Smallest k such that A000005(A000045(k)) = 2^n.

The multiplicative property of the tau-function implies that the Fibonacci(k) has a prime factor representation p_1^e_1*p_2^e_2*... where (e_1+1)*(e_2+1)*... is a power of 2, that is, the exponents are in {1,3,7,15,...}. This adds for example the squarefree Fibonacci numbers with indices from A037918 to the list of candidates. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 11 2011

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..32.

Example

a(0) =  1 because tau(Fibonacci(1))  = tau(1)   = 2^0 = 1.
a(1) =  3 because tau(Fibonacci(3))  = tau(2)   = 2^1 = 2.
a(2) =  6 because tau(Fibonacci(6))  = tau(8)   = 2^2 = 4.
a(3) = 15 because tau(Fibonacci(15)) = tau(610) = 2^3 = 8.
