Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
m-nomial (m>=2) coefficients are coefficients of the polynomial (1+x+...+x^(m-1))^n (n>=0), see A007318 (m=2), A027907 (m=3), A008287 (m=4), A035343 (m=5) etc. For k>=1, consider the triangle of 2^k-nomial coefficients, each entry reduced mod 2, and convert each row of the reduced triangle to a single number by interpreting the sequence of bits as binary representation of a number. This defines sequences A001317 (k=1), A177882 (k=2), A177897 (k=3), etc. The current sequence lists terms of A001317 which are not derived from any of the sequences for k >=2, not from 4-nomial, not from 8-nomial, not from 16-nomial etc.
Conjecture: If for every m>=2, to consider triangle of m-nomial coefficients mod 2 converted to decimal, then the sequence lists terms of A001317 which are not in the union of other sequences for m=3 (A038184), 4 (A177882), 5, 6,...
FORMULA
Denote by B(n) the number of terms of the sequence among the first n terms of A001317. Then lim_{n->infinity} B(n)/ = Product_{prime p>=2} (1 - 1/(2^p-1)) = A184085.
